Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy

Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are surgical procedures to remove the tonsils and adenoids, respectively. The tonsils are located at the back of the throat, while the adenoids are found higher up in the throat, near the nose. These procedures are often performed on children who experience frequent throat infections, obstructed breathing during sleep, or other related issues. The surgeries are typically done under anesthesia, and recovery may involve some throat pain and dietary adjustments. While most patients recover well, it's essential to follow a doctor's advice during the healing process.
