Will My Child's Immune System Be Damaged When Tonsils And Adenoids Are Removed? Would Their Lungs Be Vulnerable?

This question is one of the most frequently asked questions by ENT specialists. Such a concern may arise in the families of children who are planned to have tonsil-dental meat taken together. It is true that the tonsils and adenoids are organs in the body's immune system.

However, if the harm of an organ exceeds its benefit and that organ is not essential for the body, it is more correct to take it. In a healthy child who does not have a special immune deficiency, when tonsil and adenoid surgery is performed for the reasons mentioned above, there is no collapse in the immune system.

There is no scientific data on the increase in lung infections in these children. Because even after the tonsils and genia flesh are removed, other immune system elements in the mouth and throat continue to function as protective.
