drastic way to remove strep

[Guest guest]

Hi, for those not on facebook, all 4 of our boys had their tonsils removed on

Tuesday as suggested by Dr Goyal. It was a very long, hard day seeing all 4

through the anaesthetic room and then post op when they were all pretty

miserable.

They were eating by the next day and are actually quite ok now considering

although not up to doing very much and we are in quarantine in the house for 10

days to avoid infections so another week to go.

I may have an oxygen concentrator to sell on in a few weeks if anyone is

interested as hopefully we won't need it anymore. I bought it for £800 in March

from pure 02. It seemed a cheaper option than £50 a week rental from

Breakspears.

I will update any progress/changes in the boys from hopefully eradicating the

strep. Two of the boys probably also had sleep apnoea as their tonsils were so

enormous and this can cause ADHD type symptoms.

My little one as a bonus had his glue ear drained (again!) and grommets inserted

again, last time (age almost 2)he started talking afterwards so I am sure this

will also help in addition to the tonsillectomy. We don't know what his strep

levels were as I didn't want to subject him to blood tests but as he has already

had two bouts of tonsilitis this year so far, it seemed the sensible option for

him too bearing in mind the other 3 all had elevated levels.
