Tonsillectomy is a minor otolaryngology surgery and should be performed under local anesthesia. For tonsils, they are an immune organ of the body and the first line of defense. If they are removed, the first line of defense may be lost. However, for children with repeated tonsil infections, it is still beneficial to remove them.

Tonsills are an important part of the human immune system. The location of tonsils and their special tissue structure make them play a role in helping the entire body. The immune system and stimulates the production of antibodies. Guidance: Tonsils are the largest lymphoid tissue in the pharynx. They can produce lymphocytes and antibodies, so they have anti-bacterial and anti-viral defense functions. The pharynx is the only way for eating and breathing, and it is easier to hide germs and foreign bodies when exposed to it frequently. , the rich lymphoid tissue and tonsils in the pharynx perform the defense and protection tasks of this special area of ??the body. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not remove tonsils at will, otherwise the harm will definitely outweigh the benefits!

Due to its immune effect on the body, tonsils should not be removed casually. Tonsillar hypertrophy is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the tonsils are enlarged but do not affect breathing and swallowing, and do not cause serious clinical manifestations, they should not be removed. Because removal may affect the local immune response and reduce the body's ability to fight infection. If tonsillitis recurs, hinders breathing and swallowing, and causes rheumatism, nephritis and other diseases, it should be removed in time. Generally, tonsillectomy should be performed after the age of four, and it is more appropriate to wait two to three weeks after the inflammation subsides. However, if the attacks are too frequent and you cannot wait too long, you may consider performing surgery a few days after the attacks subside.
