Tonsillitis Operation
6 year old child is prescribed operation for tonsillitis. He snores at night, his tonsils are swollen due to frequent infection.
Can homeopathy resolve the problem without operation?
Sorry but I dont think it will resolve the problem
Snoring is indicative of adenoid hypertrophy with tonsillitis
Best option would be getting the child examined well and then planning for adenotonsillectomy
We also should check the number of attacks of tonsillitis which the child is facing , the severity of symptoms and then plan accordingly

Since the child is 6yr old, snoring issue can be due to adenoid(present behind the nose ) which is obstructing the airway, so u can try medical management for 3 months, but if u have already taken nasal spray and steroids then surgery would be the next step. And how many times a month does she have infection?
