TONSILLECTOMY
A tonsillectomy is done to treat infection and inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis).
It may also be done to treat breathing and other problems related to enlarged tonsils.
Children with tonsillar disease experience poor quality of life, and if not treated at the right time, they may face tonsillar abscess, joint pain and kidney infections. Economic burden include costs of outpatient visits and the medications prescribed. Indirect costs are also substantial due to missed school and loss of time from work for caregivers.
