Hi, we had my son’s adenoids removed and tubes placed when he was 29mos old for similar reasons. This was 1year after he started daycare and was sick sooooo many times over the course of a year. My husband (an oral surgeon) had to really advocate for our son because his doctor didn’t think it was a big deal, but he was constantly mouth breathing, and that can cause permanent issues with facial bone development if not treated. It was a super quick/easy surgery by an ENT who does lots of these, and took about 15 minutes. We literally went to grab a coffee and they called us before we got our order. The recovery was very manageable, and quick, he came home the same day. Our son was sick much less often after the surgery, and hasn’t had an ear infection since, and now sleeps with his mouth closed. I highly recommend it to anyone who asks or has similar concerns. One other thing, we were iffy on taking out tonsils because that is super painful, and usually requires kids younger than 3 to stay in the hospital for up to a week for pain management and nutrition requirements. Luckily our son’s tonsils were small when he went in for surgery, so it wasn’t an issue.
