Tonsil surgery (tonsillectomy) in a 7-year-old is generally considered safe, but it's important to discuss any concerns with your child's doctor. While the procedure is common and has a good safety record, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of, including ear pain and headaches after surgery.
