Can surgery decrease the infection frequency?
Tonsil and/or adenoid surgery is recommended when sinusitis, middle ear bacterial infections, and tonsillitis occur more frequently within the specified timeframes outlined in the guidelines. Furthermore, the decision for tonsil surgery should be expedited in children with febrile seizures due to tonsillitis, PFAPA syndrome, a history of tonsillar abscesses, recurrent tonsil stones, or multiple antibiotic allergies.
