Good day Dr. Please, I need a solution to an enlarged tonsils and androids that is already causing a serious sleep apnea. The person is scared of surgery. Is there any other way to shrink the tonsils or to treat the sleep apnea apart from surgery? Thank you. Cindy nneka.

Dear lybrate-user, it depends on the ahi and severity of apnea. Get a sleep study done and maybe a cpap device can be tried. Follow up with a sleep study report. Regards.
