Question

My child is three and a half years old, experiencing snoring, breath pauses, and shortness of breath. The hospital diagnosed it as adenoid hypertrophy. What is the general age for a tonsillectomy?

Answer

Generally around 4 years old. Your child’s current age is considered an ideal time for the procedure. Just make sure not to overbundle your child and encourage a diet of light, healthy foods to allow for gradual recovery.
