| Description |
We found that chronic tonsillitis in children is most prevalent at the age of 12-14 years. We have studied and analyzed gender-specific prevalence of chronic tonsillitis in children over the last decade and identified the common pattern: the disease incidence is higher in girls which is possibly due to the impact of female hormones. It was also found that the incidence of hypertrophy of the tonsils and adenoids is highest at the age of 6.
