my 3.5 year old has enlarged adenoids and tonsils and the doctor recommended surgery is it safe for a child this young what should I do
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about the safety of surgery for a 3.5-year-old with enlarged adenoids and tonsils. While surgery is generally considered safe, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks in your child's specific case. A more conservative approach of watchful waiting and medical management until the child is 6-7 years old is often recommended, as adenoids and tonsils tend to naturally shrink by this age
