Hi,
Your daughter might need tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy if:
1) she has difficult breathing while she a sleep
2) 3 rounds of ear infection per year
3) 5 common Cold that required antibiotics per year she need a careful evaluation of her adenoids and tonsils to avoid the development of rheumatoid fever due to recurrent infection as for now she could use an anti histaminic to cure the runny nose and the itchy ears as Citrizine once daily before going to bed.
