2. Bad breath: if the patient’s tonsil crypts retain some decayed material, or a large number of anaerobic bacteria, it can also cause bad breath symptoms.
3. Breathlessness: mostly seen in young children, tonsils over-hypertrophy, may appear breathlessness, snoring and other symptoms, some patients with serious conditions, may also appear swallowing difficulties and other symptoms.
