Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand mam, what you are going through. Enlarged adenoids may block the Eustachian tubes. Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the throat; this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat or enlarged adenoids, which can lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears. This can also result in infection of the ears. So, an adenoidectomy may help with his symptoms. Good luck for the procedure.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. Is it the tonsils or adenoids? It could also be quinsy, which is peritonsillar abscess that is there is pus collection around the tonsils. This is an emergency and needs to be treated with IV antibiotics. Sometimes it warrants incision and drainage of the abscess. It is also an indication for tonsillectomy. So, continue with the antibiotics. Keep monitoring his symptoms, if worsening, then consult your doctor. Good Luck with his therapy.
