Hi Doctor. I have seen very good answers that you have given to other parents/guardians with regard to edenoids. My son is 3 yrs and 4 months and for the last about 3 months, we have been in and out of hospital because of multiple problems; colds, flu, cough, tonsilitis, pharyngitis and fever. I decided to consult an ENT specialist who requested for a PNS x-ray. The X-ray has shown adenoid hypertropy and the ENT specialist has recommended for the removal of the adenoids. Of course I m jittery about this especially when I think of General anethesia. Do you think the surgery is important? Thank you. Esther from Tulaga, Kenya
