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.

Zapcap,
Diagnosing the problem is the first step to addressing the problem. A physical exam, patient history and a sleep study will help provide information to find the cause of the snoring or apnea. The doctor may order a sleep study to help with the evaluation. During the study, sensors are placed at strategic parts of the body and measure the heart rate, oxygen level, breathing and monitor other functions. The sleep period will be recorded on a video monitor and microphone by a technician for later evaluation by the doctor. Change your sleep habits. This can help to reduce or stop the snoring. For example: if you sleep on your back, sleep on your side instead of on your back, as this will prevent blockage of the throat due to gravity. You can also place a large pillow or sew some tennis balls into a sock and sew the sock onto the back of your pajamas to prevent you from rolling onto your back. Lose weight. Sometimes excessive snoring is due to excess weight or obesity. The weight makes the throat structures thicker and looser so it will tend to flop around more making breathing harder and increasing the risk of snoring and apnea. Avoid alcohol and certain medications such as sedatives, sleeping pills and antihistamines since they relax the throat muscles and can make snoring or apnea much worse. Same effect with alcohol; don’t drink alcohol for 4 hours before sleep. Snoring can also be caused by allergies or blocked-up nose and sinuses. Smoking makes snoring worse by increasing blockage in the nasal passages. Snoring or apnea can also be caused by a physical deformity or from a previous injury to the nose or the surrounding structures. Simple snoring can be corrected by a special mouthpiece called an oral appliance that is usually designed by a dental specialist with the help of the doctor.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM – AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. – MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.

I’d say that if your tonsils were an issue your doctor would have suggested removing them. My suggestion would be to go back and speak to your doctor about the problem.

Having your tonsils cut out will not make you fat, although being overweight is apparently one cause for snoring. I’d speak to your doctor and they should be able to help.
