Hello!I would like to have a complete history of your child including the duration of each episode and the frequency of these febrile episodes in a year. If the episodes makes him skip the school, and he is febrile with high grade fever for more than 3 times a year, he needs tonsillectomy i.e, removal of tonsils that are basically defensive in cases of infection but gets hyperactive in certain individuals, that needs removal. Every surgical procedure has some complications but as such there are no major complications if performed by an expert person with trained staff.It's a daytime procedure and patient is usually discharged after 24 hrs witChatDoctorplete recovery seen in 1 week.
