    Enlarged tonsils are a condition that tends to occur in the throat and are more likely to occur in children than in adults. Children's poor immunity, coupled with the physiological location of the tonsils themselves susceptible to infection, also leads to a high incidence of tonsil enlargement in children. Second-degree enlarged tonsils can affect normal life, but surgery is generally not recommended for children, so let's take a closer look.

    The effects of second-degree tonsillar enlargement have been obvious, and children are prone to snoring, slurred speech and painful swallowing while sleeping. Although tonsil surgery is not difficult, it carries the risk of infection, and the patient is required to recuperate for a period of time after the operation, so it is possible to avoid surgery without surgery.

    Tonsil enlargement is easy to carry out in the early stages**, and paying attention to anti-inflammatory ** at this time can generally have an effect. However, if symptoms are detected late, ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs may not be effective, and surgical removal can be considered. A simple tonsil removal surgery only costs a few hundred dollars, but it is important for patients to prevent infection and prepare for anti-inflammatory after surgery.

    Tonsil enlargement is prone to recurrence, and some children have tonsillitis caused by improper diet after the disease is controlled, in which case surgical removal of the tonsils needs to be considered, which can effectively prevent the disease**. Children's tonsillectomy surgery is more strict, children should not drink water or eat 8 hours before the operation, it is best to stay in the hospital for an hour after the operation, and then leave without special circumstances.

    Hello, enlarged tonsils is a condition in which the tonsils of the pharynx are abnormally swollen. Tonsil enlargement should be done as early as possible**. In the early stages of the disease, when you first see the above symptoms (see the second heading of "symptoms" in the first heading of "What is enlarged tonsils" in this entry), you should go to the relevant hospital for examination as soon as possible.

    Many patients with enlarged tonsils do not understand tonsil enlargement, so in the early stage of symptom discovery, tonsil enlargement is not carried out in time, which makes the enlarged tonsils expand. Removal of the tonsils is necessary in cases of frequent episodes of tonsillitis, or when tonsil lesions generally affect the child's health or interrupt the child's schooling, as well as when hearing or breathing are affected.

    However, tonsillectomy is sometimes unnecessary, and if the diagnosis is suspected, it is necessary to consider whether there is something else.

    Suggestions: It is recommended that it is best to take your child to the ENT department of a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as not to affect your child's normal life, and pay attention to your child's diet and personal hygiene.
