Frequently Asked Questions
Surgery is usually considered only after medical treatments like antibiotics, nasal sprays, or observation have not worked. If your child has frequent infections, ongoing breathing or sleep problems, or repeated ear infections affecting daily life, your ENT specialist may recommend surgery based on symptom history and exam findings.
No. Research shows that removing the tonsils and adenoids does not increase the risk of frequent infections. Other lymph tissue in the body continues to protect the immune system, and many children actually get sick less often after surgery.
Tonsils rarely grow back after a complete tonsillectomy. Adenoids, however, can rarely regrow, especially in very young children. If symptoms return, further evaluation by an ENT may be needed.
You should contact the doctor immediately if your child has bright red bleeding, trouble breathing, signs of dehydration (very little urine, dry mouth), or a fever over 102°F. Mild pain, bad breath, and low-grade fever are common during recovery and usually improve with time.
Keeping your child well-hydrated is the most important step. Offer fluids frequently, provide soft foods, give pain medication exactly as prescribed, and encourage rest. Staying calm and reassuring your child can also make recovery easier for both of you.
