It depends on how frequently are the symptoms occuring. Symptoms include high fever, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing food, mouth breathing/snoring at night.
If these symptoms are causing hindrance in her day to day activities, it is better to go ahead with surgery. If not, then a wait and watch approach can be taken provided your daughter is growing adequately for her age and is not having any problems at school.
