Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy used to be very common operations for children in the United States. But they are much less common now that doctors are more aware of which children will benefit from the operation. Children who benefit from surgery include those with the following:



*

Obstructive sleep apnea

*

Extreme discomfort when talking and breathing

*

Multiple throat or ear infections (defined by some as seven or more infections in 1 year, five or more infections a year over 2 years, or three or more a year over 3 years)

*

Cancer (rarely a cause)



Doctors may recommend adenoidectomy alone for the following:



*

Ear infections

*

Recurring nasal congestion

*

Sinus infections

Removing enlarged tonsils and adenoids is useful only when enlargement causes extreme discomfort, breathing problems, or recurrent infections.



Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy do not appear to decrease the frequency or severity of colds or cough.
