Cases requiring tonsillectomy: (1) recurrent attacks of chronic tonsillitis; (2) those with a history of peri-tonsillar abscess; (3) those with excessive tonsillar hypertrophy that hinders swallowing and breathing; (4) patients with rheumatic fever, nephritis, arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, etc., in whom the tonsils are suspected to be the focal point; (5) unexplained long-term low-grade fever when chronic inflammation of the tonsils is present; (6) various benign tonsillar tumors (in case of malignant tumors, medical history should be carefully selected).
Tonsillectomy can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with chronic tonsillitis, mainly because before surgery the tonsils had to be attacked more than 3-6 times a year, each attack had to delay the study or life for 2 weeks, and antibiotics had to be applied, which was costly. These conditions improve significantly after the surgery. Therefore, for patients who need tonsillectomy, they should still listen to their doctors and undergo surgery.
