Hi all I am looking for some advice. My 2 1/2 year old son had massive tonsils which means he snores really badly, barely eats anything solid (he lives on milk, yogurts and I still have to puree his food) and he has had tonsillitis 4 times in the past 3 months (this is 3rd lot in 1 month). I think he has had it times before whwn i didnt recognise what it was. I also think it is affecting his speech somehow. Eveytime i have brought it up with health visitor they have said they are reluctant to take them out anymore. Last time I went to the doctor she said she would refer us to the hospital but 2 weeks on we haven't heard anything and the infection has returned. I am taking him back this evening for another appointment, what can I say to make them agree to take them out?? It is really starting to get me down seeing how poorly he is all of the time.
