I have zero faith in the medical community anymore, and less faith in any online resources spewing 'medical advice'. My 11yo son is going in for surgery soon, for removal of tonsils and adenoids. I know this is routine procedure nowadays so I am not at all worried, But I am curious, have any of you had this procedure done recently or know someone who has? Especially someone young. I had it done 30 years ago and I was too young to remember anything. I'm sure its much different today. Because of the surgery, he'll be out of school for a week but my hope is he'll be recovered enough in a few days. He's active and involved in sports and want to make sure he can resume his normal lifestyle in 4-5 days, but no idea what to expect in terms of recovery.
Any thoughts based on recent experiences greatly appreciated!
This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. What to do and avoid. Thank you for sharing!! I'm in my late 40s now and had it done years ago. My son is 11 now. I just want to know what he should actually consume when ready. We loaded up on ice cream but sounds like that could have some adverse affects. Thank you again !
You are so very welcome !! have an 11 year old grandson and that would be what I would tell my daughter. Because of my experience I never gave ice cream to my kids when they were healing.
