Will Removing Tonsil And Adenoids Help Curing Sinus Infections?
My 8 year old daughter has been struggling with sinus infections and off and on ear aches. She has obstructive sleep apnea with a 2 plus tonsils. What does the two plus mean? They suggested to have her tonsil and adenoids removed. Will this really help?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
When tonsils and adenoids enlarge hugely they obstruct air passage esp in sleep,
this is called obstructive sleep apnoea
Definitely will need surgery
Wishing your child speedy recovery
