Question
Soon after birth, the child often scratches their ears. Do they need surgery to remove the tonsils?
Answer
Tonsils in children under 6 years old play a crucial role in immune function and should not be removed arbitrarily to avoid lowering immunity. Surgery should only be considered when the tonsils are severely enlarged, affecting swallowing and breathing functions, and under the evaluation of a professional doctor. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention early, follow the treatment guidance of a specialist doctor, and pay attention to preventing heat-related issues in daily life to ensure the child can recover as soon as possible.
