<human>: Hello Doctor, My daughter is 4 yrs.old. Last one year, she is suffering from cold, running nose, fever problem.. I consult ENT Specialist, he said she had Enlarged Adenoid & Tonsils problem and she has to be operated. Doctor gave her medicine Argumentive and flucold medicine. Please suggest me, what should I do, should I go for surgery or try another doctor for treatment for avoid surgery because hse is to small kid. Is there any side effects of surgery. please help me.
<bot>: Dear parent, Adenti tonsillitis requires surgery if the child has been suffering more than 7 episodes a year requiring antibiotics, if the child is having obstructive sleep apnea. Generally as age goes by the adenotpnsillitis regress by 8 to 10 years of age. If the child is suffering from too many episodes I suggest going for surgery because suffering might cause growth disturbances. Surgery is safe, less downtime and less side effects.
