I need tonsil advice asap... Avery has had enlarged tonsils most of her life, and in the last 4 months, they've gotten really big. She suffers from sleep apnea and I've taken her to the doctor. He said apnea is serious and a specialist will call me asap, but they never did. Anyway, the doctor said her tonsils are large, but not infected. Sent her home without treatment.
This was two weeks ago; as of yesterday, she now talks like she's got something stuffed down her throat, coughs constantly, and if you look in her throat, she has more tonsil than air passage. It's got me worried.
When I was five, I was rushed to the hospital. I had stopped breathing because my tonsils grew together. Doctors don't take that very seriously, and tell me that she'll be fine. But how can I know that when it almost killed me.
Anyone have tonsil info, ideas, ways to reduce the swelling, or when to take your kid to the hospital???
