  • Parameters like fundamental frequency and noise-to-harmonic ratio improved in the patient following surgery.
  • Adenotonsillar hypertrophy may contribute to voice disorders and obstructive sleep apnea in children.
  • Findings highlight the importance of addressing tonsillar hypertrophy in young patients for better health outcomes.
