Could I have positive experiences of having adenoids removed at a very young age?
Baby is 12 months old and our ENT has said by phone consultation that she will remove his adenoids as they are likely to be the cause of his issues (zero interest in solid foods, gags on everything, snores and mouth breathes, failure to thrive). We’ll find out at our face to face consultation the day before his adenoidectomy whether it will be tonsillectomy as well, but we’re hoping just the adenoids will be enough to help him.
The ENT really isn’t keen to remove tonsils at such a young age unless they’re too big to be left and she would be very hesitant to do his tonsils at his age and weight as it comes with more risks and would be better off being left until his older unless they’re so large that they’re badly contributing to his issues.
Any experiences of similar situations with positive outcomes? I’ve never been so stressed in my life, I just want my little boy to start eating and thriving!
