My heathens get tonsillitis CONSTANTLY. Or did until dr gave up and just said take them out before we got that mess started. EVERY kid has done that. Stephy was starting the same routine, dr gave up and said take them out and take Annika's out also. Pedi agrees that we should get Thomas and Patricks out sooner or later.
Best thing I ever did was agree to get DS#2's tonsils out. And my own, altho the doc could have been a bit more clear about stopping the morphine after 3 days and avoided me being #1, baked out of my mind and #2, having wicked withdrawals.
Orchy I hope ur kiddos are ok!
Yeah, just took us 6 kids getting sick with tonsillitis CONSTANTLY, and the brats would pass it back and forth so we never have the "clear" weeks to get them out. New pedi, Steph started that same crap, dr looks at the records and says the day she's done with her antibiotics, they are taking her tonsils out and would I like to schedule Annika for the same day?
I get there is some apparently benefit to the tonsils. But when 2 kids get tonsillitis, then because they are dog sick, get strep on top, then go to pnuemonia all at the same flipping time, I don't have really fond thoughts of tonsils. Esp since Annika hasn't been more sick after getting them out at 18 months.
