Hi im looking for honest feedback as im quite anxious
Ds is 4 yeer old and is going into hospital tomorrow to have adenoids removed and grommets placed in. Surgeon had voiced my sons tonsils are big but not the biggest he has seen said to us he can take them out and that it's my choice .
I was a bit shocked as I thought he would just make the decision . I have read thats it's very painful for them and don't want to put him through pain if it can be avoided
He does not get throat infections often has had strep throat twice . He does mouth breath and snores and sometimes chokes of sylva when sleeping , he does sometimes pause breathing while sleeping for a few seconds which I thought was sleep apnea he had a sleep study at hospital and it came back OK I think it was the best he had slept and not his typical nights sleep. He is not a great sleeper not sure if this is down to tonsils or just behaviour . I honestly don't know if I should get them out or just leave them .
