When Is a Tonsillectomy Necessary for Children?
- 17th January 2025
Tonsillitis can be distressing for both children and parents.
If your child has recurrent fevers, snoring, swallowing difficulties or recurring throat infections, it could point to a problem that needs medical care.
At BMI The Saxon Clinic, a reputable ENT Hospital in Milton Keynes, Mr. Adam Shakir works as an ENT surgeon with a focus on tonsillitis diagnosis and treatment.
Here’s all you need to know about when a tonsillectomy is required and how he handle this procedure with accuracy and care.
Understand Childhood Tonsillitis
Infection of the tonsils causes tonsillitis, which manifests as symptoms such as:
- Neck Ache
- Throat Pain
- Fever
- Difficulty Swallowing
Antibiotics and painkillers can be effective treatments for recurrent tonsillitis.
Your child may have chronic or recurrent tonsillitis, which calls for a more permanent solution (a tonsillectomy) if these infections happen frequently or cause major problems.
Is a Tonsillectomy Required?
Usually, a tonsillectomy is advised when:
- Recurrent tonsillitis: If despite medical therapy, your child gets several bouts of tonsillitis each year.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnoea: Snoring or trouble breathing while sleeping caused by enlarged tonsils.
- Difficulty Swallowing or Eating: Food intake is impacted by persistent tonsil hypertrophy.
- Regular absences from school: As a result of recurring infections.
It’s important to speak with a qualified Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist if you see these symptoms. The greatest possible outcome for your child’s health is ensured by early consultation.
