Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi pead would to get the above taken out i have agreed to meet the surgeon but worried in case it increases the amount of infection he get's in his chest. is constantly blocked up in the nose area and at times find's it hard to breathe also has ashma alitle loud when sleeping,but i can not help but think that he will get more ill with his chest as he already has scare tissue from the pneumonias etc he's had.

Pat, If tonsils and adenoids are bad this could be why he is loud when he is sleeping. It won't hurt his chest to have them removed. It may help him to do so. Just a word of caution, they released Brittany after her tonsil and adenoid surgery and she got a bad infection. This was before we knew about her having a PID. I would strongly recommend keeping him in the hospital to watch and prevent this from happening. It was awful for her! If we had only known.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Pat: Those structures can be breeding grounds for bacteria. I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was five and as a result, I've never had strep throat in my life. I don't think removing them would make him any more vulnerable to chest infections, but ask the doc about that.

Once they started getting infected, it was the only solution. Sandi, Mom to , age 12.

After that, he started getting chronic strep as part of his Polysaccharide deficiency!! So, it is still possible, but he did have a few years without throat infections. These days, he hasn't had one for quite a while!! YAY Sandi, Mom to , age 12.
