Medical Report on the Child’s Condition
Our medical team received the five-year-old girl at the ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Center, where she was diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis. This condition had affected her hearing, led to fluid buildup in her eardrum, caused nasal congestion, and difficulty sleeping, as well as swelling under her eyes.
Medical Diagnosis of the Child’s Condition
Upon the child’s arrival at the hospital, a thorough examination and necessary tests were conducted. Based on the accurate diagnosis, it was determined that the child required a tonsillectomy.
In addition to removing the tonsils, we also inserted a tube to drain fluid from her ear. The surgery was successfully completed, thanks to the expertise of our medical team. Post-surgery, the pain completely subsided, and the child regained her energy.
