Question by ѕкує вℓυє αкα ανα’ѕ мσмму: Did your child have their adenoids and/or tonsils removed… a few questions?
My daughter is 2.8 years old. Her pediatrician referred her to a Ear, Nose and Throat specialist after seeing results of an x-ray they took of her face. Apparently the results came back saying her adenoids are enlarged and the specialist will probably want to remove them… as well as her tonsils (even though her tonsils are fine). I asked him why he would remove the tonsils if there is nothing wrong and he said that they just usually do the tonsils if they are already doing the adenoids.

My daughter has sleep apnea, snoring, repeated ear infections so I do have hope that once as her adenoids are removed… she can get some relief. Tubes in her ears would be beneficial as well. I just don’t think that I want her tonsils removed if there is nothing wrong with them.

I guess my questions are that:

If your child has had their tonsils removed… is it painful when they wake up? I know when they get their tonsils removed, the recovery can be a few weeks long. I just want to know the difference between the two recoveries.

Another question is: What was the reasons you had for your child being referred to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist. Did you see an improvement in your child after surgery?

We see the specialist on Wednesday

I personally think you should definitely voice your opinions/concerns about the removal of her tonsils and let them know if there is nothing wrong then you don’t want them removed as they do serve the function of fighting off infections and keeping things from entering the airway/lungs that shouldn’t be there!!!! My oldest had his out at 6 and honestly he did bounce back pretty quickly, the only rough parts were the initial wake up and being disoriented and uncomfortable for a day or two, then explaining that for X amount of days no matter how fine he felt he could NOT have chicken nuggets!!!! He was referred to and ENT due to horrendous snoring and lack of sleep and his tonsils were like your daughters adenoids, HUGE, abnormally so and that is why the snoring, he couldn’t breathe, the doctor was honestly amazed that he could even swallow without choking!!! Best of luck, hope all goes well and she has a speedy recovery

Question by Corn_Flake: Have questions about sleep apnea Sleep Study:?
I had a sleep study done this weekend. I thought I would sleep well but I didn’t. I think I got about 2 hrs worth of sleep total (no clocks in the room).
Most of the time I laid there pretending to be asleep in hopes of falling asleep.

1. Did I get a sufficient amt of sleep for the test?
2. Can they tell when I was actually asleep v. attempting to go to sleep?
3. How does scoring work?

Any links would be great.
I’m having a hard time finding forums online or even websites that aren’t from sleep study clinics…

Thanks!

Yes they can tell when you are asleep. During the different stages of sleep, your brain waves change. Not only can they tell when you are asleep but what stage you are in.

Try to stick to black tea/coffee. Black tea or coffee can actually be good for you. But personally I would like to recommend tea rather than coffee. The caffeine in the coffee is not really good for you because it is an alkaloid and can affect other functions of your body like the metabolism.
