Today, many parents wonder if it is wise for their children to have tonsillectomy.

 

Tonsillectomy is recommended if your child has any of the following:

1. Obstructed breathing during sleep
2. Difficulty swallowing
3. Recurrent throat infections:
• 7 in 1 year
• 5 a year for 2 years
• 3 a year for 3 years

4. Recurrent serious throat infections (abscesses)

 

In most cases, inflammation of the tonsils can be successfully treated with antibiotics.

There are always risks associated with surgery. However, if your child has restless sleep, poor growth, mouth-breathing with recurring swollen tonsils, or loud snoring, consult your doctor about doing tonsillectomy
