Question
My child has a tonsil enlargement accompanied by snoring during sleep, constantly keeping their mouth open during naps, and has suffered from sinusitis three times a year. The doctor suggests surgery, but the child is only nine years old. Should we opt for minimally invasive surgery or a direct removal? Seeking help: What are the necessary considerations for surgery?
Answer
Based on your description, your child has a tonsil enlargement, snoring during naps, and has had sinusitis multiple times. The doctor has recommended surgery, but since the child is still young, whether to choose minimally invasive surgery or a direct removal needs careful consideration. It is suggested to first try medication and maintaining clean nasal passages, waiting for potential improvement as the child grows older. If the issue persists, then consider surgical treatment. For the Troubled of pediatric tonsil enlargement, we should implement targeted treatment in a timely manner based on symptoms and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the tonsil enlargement remains unhealed for a long time, it is timely to adjust the treatment plan.
