The ENT has recommended that my DD has her adenoids removed and her tonsils shaved down (as opposed to total removal.)
The rationale is that the tonsils are so large they interfere with her breathing but they don't actually get infected. Hence no need to get rid of them completely.
Does anyone have any experience of tonsil shaving in children?
I am told the recovery time is quicker. I'm looking for advice about what i can expect.
