A question concerning tonsillectomies

[Guest guest]

First of all, I want to put it out front that, as our dd had a

fairly late onset, I have no idea the craziness and heartache most

of you have been through as you see your young infants get so ill.

It sounds truly horrifying.

That said, I also see that tonsillectomies are a pretty popular

choice among many here on the forum, and I had some questions for

those who decided to go that route.

From what I've read, tosillectomies are only successful in

alleviating cycles about 30% of the time. Given the harsh

recovery from the surgery and the small odds of its effectiveness,

what made you choose it? It seems like such a radical thing to do. I

have not had a chance to talk with other parents of kids about

this before, only our specialist, so it's an honest question. I

promise.

My other question is, did it work? What improvements has it made for

your child?

Thank you so much for your input. The more I know, the better.
