Tonsilitis is common ailments for kids. Tonsilitis is due to viral infection. In most cases, this is treated using antibiotics. However, tonsillectomy has been commonly administered to kids, which requires general anesthesia. Is this adviseable?

Are you talking about the risks associated with general anesthesia? General anesthesia is preferable in this case because it allows artificial maintenance of the airway and breathing.
