Question
My son is 8 years old and has sleep-disordered breathing due to severe tonsillar hypertrophy. I would like to inquire about the possible postoperative complications of tonsillectomy.
Answer
Tonsillectomy surgery generally does not affect immune function, and the possibility of postoperative complications depends on the surgical method and postoperative care. It is recommended to seek the opinion of a professional otorhinolaryngologist as soon as possible after drug treatment is ineffective, and to choose an appropriate treatment method.
