A member asked:

What is to be expected during the removal of a child's adenoids and tonsils along with placement of ear tubes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Improvement: You may be surprised to know that this is wrong in my opinion. There are better ways of treatment. Tonsils and adenoids are very important parts of the immune system. Removing them is too simplistic. I have found repeatedly that diet comes into the picture. Remove the "junk"!
