Question
I’ve noticed that my child’s tonsils are slightly enlarged, about 0.7 centimeters, with normal color and no discomfort symptoms, such as changes in mood, appetite, sleep, and defecation. I’m unsure of when or why it started, and the doctor has recommended surgery. There have been previous treatments, but the results were not significant.
Answer
The tonsils, also known as tonsils, are usually not visible and are located at the back of the throat. When they become inflamed, they can range in severity. The acute phase can often heal on its own, but if not properly treated, it may turn into chronic inflammation. During infections, the tonsils are often the first organ to be affected, leading to a series of discomfort symptoms. If a child frequently has fevers or high fevers and medication treatment is ineffective, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy. Otherwise, there is no need for surgery. The above is for reference only.
