IV antibiotics BEFORE adenoid surgery?

[Guest guest]

I spoke briefly to the CF doc today. Ashton is supposed to have his

adenoids removed MArch 2 and he just cultured PA for the 1st time

last week. He is on TOBI. Now the CF doc mentioned that Ashton

should be on IV antibiotics BEFORE the adenoid surgery! Does that

sound right? It is a pretty minor surgery. Ashton has never been on

IV antibiotics except at birth (premature, surgery for meconium

ileus). Any thoughts? Is my CF doc being OVER protective? Did any

of your kids who had their adenoids removed also have PA at the same

time?

how far before her surgery did she start IV? And did she have to

stay in the hospital before or did you have home care?

> 's doc put her on IV antibiotics before she had the nissan

and g-tube surgery. She hasn't had adenoid surgery, but she did

culture PA at the time, so it is probably not unheard of.
