Tonsils and adenoids that grow back (was aut. cure)

[Guest guest]

Ditto! They can grow back? Wow!!! I am shocked! Yikes~!

How do you find out about a sleep study? I have a lot to learn

because two of my 3 boys have major sleep problems. Yikes! I need to

learn some more information!

Thanks for sharing all that

> Rose <beachbodytan2002@...> Hello ,

> we had that same problem with sleep. long story short, we had to

do the same thing and at 3years old too. take out his adenoids &

tonsils. this was great, he slept very well and no snoring or

coughing. yeah!!! this went well until he was almost 4 years old. I

noticed the loud snoring, coughing and loss of sleep - all over

again. I took him to another ENT (we moved) and he said - wooow, his

adenoids and tonsils are so Hugh, they have to come out now. I said

they were taken out last year. OMG!! the x-rays showed they grew

back. so, we had them taken out again. a 2nd time within one year.

My son is now 10, and I'm starting to see the signs again, (very

little right now) the snoring, coughing??? I was told this is very

rare that they grow back. But his sleeping was a Hugh improvement

when they removed his adenoids and tonsils.

> best wishes for you and your son. Hugs.

sleep study. alex rairly sleeps more than 5 hours at a time and

wakes up often and doesnt nap despite my insisting he be on a

schedule. our dr gave us sleep medicine.. no change at all. i know

when he's tired he has less control and is very contrary.we went to

ENT and were told that his adnoids and tonsils were the size of an

adult.. and alex is just three! needless to say they are removing

them, hopefully helping him to sleep and reducing his overtired

behavior. im praaying it makes a difference. if not, i dont know

whatelse to do!! GRR!

> do you think the medicine is making him act differently? i hate

medicine... its usually a trade off. one thing gets better but the

meds cause some other thing.. i read about the holisitc approach all

the time.. i just dont know enough about it to try it with alex. i

hope itdoesnt get to the point where alex is on meds. that scares me.
