When does tonsillitis need surgery? Listen to the doctor's explanation

 Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) Head and Neck Surgery Specialist, Dr. Alexander Nur Ilhami, Sp.THT-KL said that not all tonsillitis requires surgery.

However, in certain cases, tonsillectomy or tonsil removal can be a medical option that needs to be considered to prevent more serious health problems, he said in an official statement on Wednesday.

The doctor who practices at Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong explained that tonsillitis that occurs repeatedly or does not improve even after treatment can be an indication that surgery is needed.
