A member asked:
Surgery to remove the adenoids and tonsils on a 17 month old, can you tell me more about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some help: Really should speak with your surgeon. At that age, I am assuming that there is obstructed breathing. Surgery is done with general anesthesia. May require hospitalization. Risks include bleeding.
