Should I Opt For The Removal Of Tonsil?
my 5 year old is currently seeing an ENT and he has confirmed a cyst on his tonsil. we are watching it for growth. it appears to have grown a little and that tonsil is swollen and red. my son is complaining about it. do you feel that the tonsil will be recommended for removal?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
If the diagnosis is confirmed as cyst in the tonsil, then you should get it surgically removed, there is no other option. Better to get it treated as early as possible rather than waiting for it to become large.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
