Question
Do 10-year-old children with enlarged tonsils need surgery?
Answer
Currently, for children with enlarged tonsils causing complications and for whom conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery is recommended. However, you should also exclude the possibility of concomitant adenoid hypertrophy to ensure simultaneous treatment and prevent any oversight. Moreover, if the diagnosis is confirmed as enlarged tonsils, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, including medication and surgical treatment. In daily life, drinking plenty of water and paying attention to diet can help the child recover quickly.
