Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi, My son ph was 2.10 yrs old and he had his tonsils out (also adenoids).... He continues to get fever episodes. He had severe tonsil involvement starting at almost 2 yrs old... before that no or minimal tonsil involvement. Currently his fevers are spreading further and further... at 2.5 they started to spread.... but at that point he also developed canker sores. I decided with his ENT that we should remove the tonsils to help lessen the difficult symptoms we were dealing with. I am pleased we removed his tonsils... however we continue to get fevers.... we also get " throat " involvement.... when the episode comes... white throat... Minus tonsils being there!!! This month... ph really looked as if he were getting full blown episode... BUT we did not. He did get really enlarged lymph nodes..... in his neck... (posterior) and he had two large mouth sores under his tongue.... he was also cranky... BUT no fever. We are at 3 months which right on target with his record!!! It is recommended NOT to remove tonsils before 3... but again that can vary depending on the child's condition.... (not only kids) I would be very careful of removing earlier than 2...
