My 26 month old son is seeing an ENT specialist, had lots of ear infections, tonsilitis and recently pneumonia. He also has a speech problem, particularly enunciation so we don't understand a lot of what he says.
Specialist thinks he has glue ear which can cause dulled hearing. He's suggested grommets to hopefully improve hearing and also removal of tonsils & adenoids to prevent further infections.
Concerned its a lot for a 26 month old to go through and wondering if it's a good idea to get his tonsils out at the same time as potentially there's a long recovery and risk of infection etc. But also want him to get better as quick as possible and don't like the idea of him having surgery twice?
Have any of you been in a similar situation? Just really trying to find out some more information so we can make a decision on what to do.
