Larg Adenoids(adenoids) in children...treatment options.. please help
by RAWINA, Apr 11, 2008 10:18PM
Hi ladies,
I have posted earlier abot my almost three years old son. He has a problem breathing while sleeping. We did a sleep study, the result came back with obstructive sleep apnea. He saw an ENT, who did all kinds of tests and checked everything, finaly it was his adenoids (adenoids), very larg, blocking his airway in his nose.
The ENT said the only choice is removing it. I did read, somewher, that Antibiotic could help insted of surgery. Doesany of you have any idea or inf. that could help me to feel more comfotable. I realy hate to see him going to surgery. Thank you

My son had the same thing. They ended up not removing them but it was on the table. Basically, there is no other choice that I know of but removing them. The surgery will last very briefly. The recovering will be the worst for you and the little one but will be worth it after recovery.
