Daughter having adenoid surgery today but the plan says removing tonsils as well

Sometimes its one of those "we're here, we might as well" deals...

I think it’s normal. Why do you want tonsils?

There's bleeding risk for tonsil surgery.

There's a risk of bleeding after adenoidectomy as well.

I know the reverse is true (take adenoids out along with infected tonsils),

If they looked at her adenoids they have looked at her tonsils. They will always

I was present when they looked at the adenoids.

Wish they would’ve taken my daughter’s tonsils out when they took out her adenoids

Yep, wish they’d taken mine out as a kid too when getting my adenoids

Dec 27, 9:19am

Why is that?

Regular issues with them over the years

Dec 27, 10:06am

Normal. They are right there and it’s easy to do it if they need to

I don’t take tonsils out unless there is an indication. Please ask and don’t feel bad about it.

I had mine out as an adult and it was brutal. I know that doesn't answer your question really, but regardless, I'm happy

Godspeed. Don't have any advice, but we are dealing with same stuff. We're still

Actually, I do have advice: always push back and make sure you are satisfied.

Doctor: Sir you’re having a heart attack! Robokayne: I’d like a second opinion

At the very least, I would want a sanity check from Cougarboard 😉

Very good advice. Doctors generally want to do the right thing, but you can't

While the recovery really really sucks. Getting my tonsils out has been great.
