According to the current UK health guidelines, children generally have more than 7 symptoms of sore throat every year, or more than 5 times a year for two consecutive years, or 3 times a year for 3 consecutive years, the removal of tonsils will be beneficial. .

One of the authors of the report, Professor Tom Marshall of the University of Birmingham, said that many children do not have severe symptoms of sore throat. The removal of tonsils will not bring about improvement. "For many children, the damage caused by the removal of tonsils is even more Big".
