Stop Snoring Remedies

Question by Alok: Does Removal of Adenoids and Tonsils lead to Asthma?
Hi My son is 5 years old and since last 1.5 years, he is suffering from enlarged Adenoids and Tonsils. Because of these, he had frequent Ear infections last winter and until now he snores, eats slowly, not very healthy and has to follow a lot of restrictions on food like no Ice-cremes, no ketchup, no jam etc. That’s too much for a tiny age of his. The ENT specialist had suggested TAR (Tonsil & Adenoids Removal) surgery last year, but we didn’t do it until now since we are scared that if the Guards are removed, his infection which is now just in throat, will shift to Chest. Specifically since we have a family history of ASTHMA, chances are more that he will suffer from it severely after TAR. Does anybody has gone through this situation? Can anybody tell me if TAR doesn’t affect his Asthmatic chances?

The removal of Adenoids and Tonsils is supposed to help alleviate asthma. I’ve had my tonsils removed and never had chest infections. It seems he may benefit in a lot of ways if he has his tonsils out.

And there are other lymph glands that will take over the job of catching viruses, bacteria. You have something like 600 lymph nodes in your body.

My hubbys is 35 and im 24 for the last 5 and a bit yrs I have been wearing earplugs everynight cause of my hubbys really bad snoring problem. We have a 2 1/2yr old and I am so frightend that I cant hear her so I have a really good monitor in her room and turn my part up really loud just to hear her. I now have a 1 month old and I am now sleeping in her room till he does something about his snoring. He has been to many sleep clinics and they say he has sleep apnoea and he needs to where a mouth guard but I think they were wrong because he cant breath through his mouth so what would be the point of that. Anyway my friend had the same problem and she had her Adenoide and tonsils removed and now doesnt snore. Q is how much does it cost and how can we go about getting it done for him. Cause I dont want our relationship to fall apart cause of it, I mean 5yrs is enough for me I cant tell you how many times I had infected ears cause it.
