Surgery to remove the tonsils.
The tonsils help protect against
infections. However, children
with large tonsils may have
frequent sore throats and ear
infections, or have nightly
breathing problems. In these
cases, surgery to remove the
tonsils may be helpful. The
surgery is performed under general
anesthesia. This means your
child will be unconscious and
pain-free. Steps are taken to
control bleeding, and the cut
heals naturally without stitches.
