AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the impact of chronic tonsillitis before and after the surgical intervention with physiological values of the physiological parameters, such as the weight and height. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The clinical study was of a transversal type (cross-sectional). In the study participated 85 patients, who fulfilled the criteria of the study. RESULTS: Mean age of the participants in the study was 7.15 (7.11 years, for the boys and 7.19 years for the girls). There were no significant statistical changes in the boys and girls included in the study according to age. Connections between the weight and height resulted very strong and statistically important for each phase of the measurements performing in the study. CONCLUSION: I propose careful treatment of patients with chronic tonsillitis, especially for the young age patients as well as measurement taking for an adequate treatment on time (adenotonsillectomy) since it is the only method to complication prevention in the organism including the physiological parameters like weight and height.
