Tonsil enlargement is a frequently encountered ENT condition, especially in children but also seen in adults. The tonsils, located at the back of the throat, are part of the body’s immune system, but when they become repeatedly infected or enlarged, they can cause more harm than good. Common symptoms include frequent sore throats, snoring, difficulty in swallowing, mouth breathing, and interrupted sleep. In some cases, children may also experience behavioral issues or poor academic performance due to disturbed sleep caused by obstructive tonsils. If not addressed in time, enlarged tonsils can lead to chronic tonsillitis, sleep apnea, or recurrent throat infections.
In Karol Bagh, Dr. Shweta Gogia provides expert treatment for tonsil enlargement, catering to both pediatric and adult patients. With a patient-first approach, she begins with a thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed history and, if needed, diagnostic imaging. Depending on the severity, Dr. Gogia may recommend medical management with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and monitoring for mild cases. However, for patients with recurrent infections, breathing difficulties, or poor response to medication, she may advise a tonsillectomy. As an experienced ENT surgeon, Dr. Gogia performs this procedure with precision and ensures a smooth post-operative recovery plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
