What parents should know before deciding

Does My Child Need Their Tonsils Removed?

Not every sore throat means surgery. We look at how often infections happen, sleep and breathing, and your child’s growth before recommending a tonsillectomy.

When surgery is usually advised

  • Seven or more throat infections in one year
  • Loud snoring with pauses in breathing
  • Abscess around the tonsil
