I would get a referral to an ENT and get their professional opinion. If it is a borderline case I would get them out.

DS tonsils were so bad he barely had any clearance at all. It has affected his speech and as a result is in speech therapy and he had his out at 3 years.

We walked into her office and before she even touched him she said she wanted to take his tonsils out because the puffiness under his eyes (because of the size of his adenoids), she could hear his breathing and also the shape of his head/face. She took one look in his mouth and said they had to come out.

It wasn't nice seeing your little one go through it and the first 7 - 10days weren't great, some days just plain horrible and heart breaking, but within 2 weeks he was a completely different kid and his sleeping improved out of sight. The difference was absolutely staggering.

We don't regret it for a second and if either of our other 2 need it done we will not hesitate.

Good luck.
