Bad breath for the first 5 days. He is only 7 days past surgery and now has caught a cold. I feel so bad that I sent him back to daycare after 5 days he was exposed to germs. He is extra goopy in the eyes and nose today. I hope his ears stay clear. I never knew removing the adenoid would cause a change in those things. My son was still stuffy the first days after surgery but the past few what a change! he has not slept well in months with difficulty breathing and waking up choking and gagging with a constant sinus infection and block tear duct. I'm hopeful for the coming weeks.leeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129467480395782258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-28982068417843602112013-05-17T05:20:47.633-04:002013-05-17T05:20:47.633-04:00Same here m not having the tonsils/adeniods so m ...Same here m not having the tonsils/adeniods so m having no idea regarding this<br /> <a href="http://www.jmcrfoundation.org/" rel="nofollow">christian sermons</a>JMCR FOUNDATIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440709871697520101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-76376868577520683432013-05-16T23:27:31.828-04:002013-05-16T23:27:31.828-04:00I'm glad to hear Sam is doing better now and i...I'm glad to hear Sam is doing better now and isn't having chronic ear infections anymore! What a relief for you. I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 7. Up until that point, I was extremely nasally. I also snored very loudly. My parents told me they once went out to dinner and the babysitter called them half panicked because of the loud noise coming from my room after I was asleep, haha. My parents had to reassure her it was only me snoring, but she didn't believe them at first! My mom told me after the surgery, she put a mirror under my nose when I was sleeping to make sure I was still breathing, because she wasn't used to the quiet! Also, I don't remember ever having strange snot coming from my eyes/ears, if that helps :).Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-58528124241930248072013-05-16T20:34:00.707-04:002013-05-16T20:34:00.707-04:00I don't have adenoids/tonsils and I have never...I don't have adenoids/tonsils and I have never had snot come out of my eyes.

Mommy gut (in addition to education) is a powerful thing.<br /><br />I've never regretted my son's tubes (at 9 months). <br /><br />Oh and I have my tonsils/adeniods out and I can assure you the snot from all orifices doesn't last too long! ha!emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880525494984988656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697741219507547157.post-83331855441368528622013-05-16T11:03:23.454-04:002013-05-16T11:03:23.454-04:00I had my tonsils and adenoids removed late in life...I had my tonsils and adenoids removed late in life, mainly because the doctors wouldn't listen to my parents (I didn't get strep or ear infections enough. HA!) and weren't told if they could prove I had sleep apnea the surgery would be a go until I was around 10 years of age. I'm thinking that maybe because he is so young, that's why he's having the drainage from the eyes and ears more. <br /><br />*side note: my daughter has a ton of drainage from her ears - I'm talking yucky, dark yellow, fills up her the visible part of her tiny canal...nasty - and hasn't had her adenoids removed yet. (I say yet because she has trouble breathing all the time and is worse with colds so I'm already starting to wonder if she'll need them removed.)*<br /><br />Anyway, I never had the drainage problem at all. SO, all that to say, I'm another testimony of not having all the drainage later in life. I'd say talk to his pediatrician if it's still going on once he's reaching 6/7 years old. I know that's a while away, but my guess is just it's the way little bodies heal. No scientific background (read: i'm not an RN) to prove this. Just my guess from my experience and knowing other people who've had the surgery performed.<br /><br />Also, kudos to you to sticking to your guns with the ped/ENT. Now he won't remember being the mouth breather! I do and still hate how my family made fun of how nasally (is that a word?) I sounded because my tonsils and adenoids were so large. So glad you guys had the confirmation of the doc post-surgery and have the relief of knowing you guys gave Sam the ability to breath through his nose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251860539960012315noreply@blogger.com
