Should we have tonsils removed with adenoids in our 3 year old son?
ENT specialist wants to remove the tonsils in our 3 year old son when he removes his adenoids in a couple of weeks. Our son’s problem is definitely more with his adenoids: snoring issues, sleep apnea, etc. Should we go ahead with his recommendation to remove his tonsils as well even though he has had little or no problems with tonsilitis at all? (Other medical issues: slight asthmatic, year round allergies)
Yes you should.. my daughter use to get sick constantly and had trouble sleeping at night which would cause her to wake up with headaches due to her adenoids causing sleep apnea. It was recommended that her tonsils as well as adenoids were to be removed. After her tonsils were removed the doctor showed them to my husband and I .. they were huge with scar tissue from infections etc.. her adenoids were removed as well and she has not gotten throat infections since. Her health has been 100 percent.. eating habits are lovely and I am glad we made the choice to do it.. she feels so much better and looks so much better no more throat infections and nasal problems. She sleeps through the night too which is a great thing.
If it is recommended you have them removed do so and have the doc show you your child’s tonsils so you can see the condition of it which will ease your mind. Your child will feel and look so much better with the procedure.. you will see how he will get sick less and sleep much better.
Edit: Children heal up faster after those have been removed it is recommended you give them soft foods to eat and follow up with the doctor. Any adult getting their tonsils removed have a higher chance of having extreme issues since their bodies cannot heal faster so it is best it is done when they are a child. Children will bounce back in about a week.
