Tonsil and vegetation pathologies

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) affects between 2% and 5% of children, particularly between the ages of 3 and 8.
It is often associated with nocturnal snoring, difficult breathing and even pauses in breathing.
The child then sleeps restlessly, wakes up at night and loses the cleanliness he or she had previously acquired.
He may then be agitated during the day or, on the contrary, tired and unable to concentrate at school.
In the context of this syndrome, we need to look for enlarged tonsils and vegetations, which explain the syndrome.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic with no visible external scarring.

The instrument used in the operating room is coblation, now recognized as the best tool for reducing post-operative pain.

The diet will then be adapted, preferring liquids, purées or pasta, and avoiding hard, hot foods.

You’ll need to stay away from school for 10 days and refrain from all sporting activities for 15 days.
