Hello. Thank you for asking at HCM. I went through your daughter s history. Fortunately your decision to withhold surgery is very correct in my opinion. Tonsils are part of normal immune system of children. So unless absolutely necessary, every effort should be made not to remove them. A dew episodes of tonsillitis may not necessarily require their removal. However, if your daughter gets repeated tonsilitis episodes and they hamper her routine life and growth, at that time removal of tonsil may be indicated. If she has recovered and stays good, you need not to worry for your decision not to go with the surgery. Hope this solves your query. Wish your daughter the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM. Regards.
