I don’t remember much about the post-surgery food other than me being fed a lot of ice cream to reduce the inflammation. Other than that, I don’t recall any complications from the surgery so always thought it to be relatively straightforward.


If your DS has to undergo surgery, I hope she’ll have as easy a time as I did. The ice cream flavors are certainly better these days to say the least.

Peronally i dont see a need for so many children to go for surgery.


If enough Vit C is given, it works as an anti-bacterial, anti-viral, as well as anti-histamine. My family and friends depend a lot on Vit C. Good to do some research.

World Experts shared about Vit C in NZ....

Quote
Also revealed will be the important and emerging role of vitamin C in helping treat infection. Until recently it was thought that a recommended daily intake of vitamin C was sufficient for healthy living. But evidence is now clear that the body consumes more vitamin C when infected and sick, requiring increased intake to restore depleted levels. New international pharmacokinetic studies show that when intensive care (ICU) patients are given enough vitamin C to restore healthy levels, clinical outcomes are dramatically improved, death rates are markedly reduced, and time spent in ICU is shorter.

Since she was a child her tonsils always give her pain. Our family doctor already adviced her to undergo surgery but she is afraid at first. Earlier this year, her tonsils strikes again. Even if it is against her will, our family decided to have her undergo Tonsillectomy because if her tonsils won’t be removed, the infection may already reach her heart.

Otherwise your kid would have to go for the op which is unnecessary in this case.

I brought my boy to Dr Lynne Lim this afternoon to seek 2nd opinion. She said my boy’s tonsils are normal and not enlarged! Luckily I went to see her


She did a scope for him and found his nasal airway blocked with mucus. She also did a swap test to check for bacteria infection, then blood test for airborne and food allergens. It was found that my boy is allergic to dustmites (the common cause), paper dust and cockroaches.

I’m so glad to have found her. She was very detailed and thorough. Though pricey, it was worth the money spent.

But adenoids whether swollen or not you need to do a scope. It can be very uncomfortable for the child but if the specialist is well trained with kids I think it will be helpful. To be sure I think still better to seek a second opinion and get scope done.

NUH doc didn’t even do any scope to check on my boy’s tonsils and adenoids. She just do a normal open mouth check and tell me there is enlarged tonsils?? As for adenoid, the doc told me that they will remove if necessary during surgery if it is found to be enlarged??

My girl did her tonsils and adenoids removal last year. She was down with a serious of viral infections and ended up with her having breathing difficulties and unable to sleep. Our gp insisted she would be ok and nasal spray would be sufficient. After few weeks things didn’t improve and we got the gp to refer an ent specialist. She did the scope for my girl and found enlarged tonsils and adenoids. She recommended to remove them. We were torn between going for second opinion first or going for it. Seeing the discomfort she was in, we went for it. So far so good. Some people say the adenoids and tonsils are the body’s first line of defense so unless it’s absolutely necessary, otherwise try not to remove. After the op I heard of Dr Lynne Lim who is ent specialist for kids… if I had known earlier I might have gone for her due to her experience with kids. It’s good to seek a second opinion if not urgent case.

Doc said he has enlarged tonsils and adenoids (but how do they actually check? Just like looking into the throat like normal check for sore throat?). She also suggested surgery to remove the tonsils and adenoids. I would like to seek 2nd opinion, anyone has doc to recommend? TIA!

She suggest for surgery but right now we are monitoring her condition which seems better early this Jan. But recently, her appetite drop and could hear big breathing and noise from her nostril. She has running nose last friday too and we have being giving her nesenex spray every night. Has anyone heard about Dawn Teo and should I let my gal to go for surgery?

Also went for an op to cut out excessive flesh in the nose to help with breathing (caused poor sleep and snoring)…Personally I felt the tonsil removal helped, but the nose one is still a problem…find it more comfortable breathing through the nose, but that causes snoring.

Need your precious advice here
My son has snoring problem, frequent cough due to mucus & phlegm back flow to throat. Recently brought him to ENT at kkh, doctor advise to have his tonsils & adrenoids removed. His tonsils aren’t enlarge and he has no history of frequent tonsillitis / sore throat. But his adrenoids are slightly larger than normal and hence narrower air way. Was told surgery recovery takes 1 month and 90% of children benefited from surgery. More oxygen leads to longer concentration and will not get tired easily.
I am contemplating if to put him through the surgery.

Any parents whose child has gone through the surgery and you greatly felt that was the best decision?

Or any doctors to recommend for a second opinion?

My boy was often down with flu and cough and he couldn’t go swimming, but after removing tonsils, he has been healthy. Its just that it was pretty painful for me as a mum to see my small boy going for surgery.it was done as day surgery and after the op,he did vomit a lot.

We found another specialist at Mt Elizebeth who did not think it is necessary and he managed her condition till she outgrew it. He had since retired and we were initially thinking of putting her under either Dr Goh Yau Hong or Dr Andrew Loy as well but did not as it was no longer necessary.

steven_anto:
Dear Parents,


Brought my 6 yr old daughter to see Dr Goh (Mt Elizabeth).
Dr has recommended to remove her tonsils, adenoids and sinus turbinate surgery for my girl.

Anyone has any feedback on Dr YH Goh or any good ENT to recommend?

Thanks.
Hi Steven, Dr Goh Yau Hong is pretty sound and is quite popular. : ) Alternatively, try Dr Andrew Loy for a second opinion.
