Hello lybrate-user, 9 Years child suffering from Tonsillitis since many years with Raised Aso titre is indicative of Chronic Tonsillitis. Recurrent attacks of Tonsillitis like 1. 7 or more episodes in one year (or) 2. 5 episodes in two years (or) 3. 3 episodes per year for three consecutive years. Are indicative for undergoing Tonsillectomy. But if the child is having much problem and doesnot fit in the above criteria may also Require Tonsillectomy depending upon the size of Tonsil. Better consult an ENT surgeon for Examination, Proper Evaluation & Treatment.
