and adenoids are masses of
tissue that are similar to
the lymph nodes or "glands" found
in the neck, groin, and armpits.
Surgery
to remove the tonsils. The
tonsils help protect against
infections. However, children
with large tonsils may have
frequent sore throats and ear
infections, or have nightly
breathing problems. In these
cases, surgery to remove the
tonsils may be helpful. The
surgery is performed under
general anesthesia. This means
your child will be unconscious
and pain-free. Steps are taken
to control bleeding, and the
cut heals naturally without
stitches.
