Unusually large tonsils seem to run in my husbands family. My two year old has had countless ear infections and bouts of tonsiltits. He has glue ear aswell and has only 50% hearing in both ears so it should make a big difference with him.

My 4 year old has enlarged tonsils all the time and large crevices which fill with bacteria things - sometimes called tonsil stones. He also snores very loudly and doesn't sleep very well so hopefully these procedures will give us some normality with sleeping. We wont know ourselves not getting up every few hours!

I think the same as you - Mr almost 5 knows too much so hopefully he is ok. He's quite excited about being able to drink coke...ahh the little things that keep them happy

I will ask about the nose blowing on tuesday when they go in and will let you know what i find out.
