Question
My son is 5 years old and has been constantly coughing, with a lot of phlegm and a sore throat. What are the symptoms of enlarged tonsils?
Answer
The main symptoms of enlarged tonsils include a sensation of something in the throat, dry and sore throat, voice change, snoring, and difficulty breathing. If enlarged tonsils are not treated promptly, they may lead to chronic hypoxia, affecting brain growth and development. It is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible, while also ensuring a balanced diet and avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
