Question
If a child frequently has high fever due to tonsillitis, is it possible to undergo surgery for removal? It is said that doctors recommend waiting until the child is two and a half years old before surgery. Is it possible to have the surgery at one year old?
Answer
Based on the situation you described and considering the baby’s age, it is advisable to first consider conservative treatment. Since the baby is still quite young, it is recommended not to consider surgery for removal at this time. Pay attention to the baby’s daily diet and lifestyle adjustments, and consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment if necessary. Additionally, ensure that the baby’s complementary feeding is light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as puffed snacks, and make sure bowel movements are smooth.
