Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Kathlleen Did your son have a tonsillectomy? If so did it help initially then symptoms came back or did it not help at all? Just curious because my daughter was greatly improved with tonsillectomy but still has mouth sores and a couple of cycles in the last 6 months. I have braced my self for the possibility of the symptoms returning but I wondered what your experience was like?
