My 7yo has had more than her fair share of colds over the last few years, and they always go right to her chest. Doc indicates that her tonsils are rather large and may be contributing to her condition. My wife and I both had our tonsils removed when we were kids and benefited greatly from their removal. Now we may need to decide what to do with our daughter. Our doc has broached the subject lightly and I think we now need to push ahead and just do it. The sooner the better in my book. Anybody have young kids who have had to make this choice? Seems like there was a while there where tonsillectomies fell out of favor. Don't hear about them much anymore. Thoughts?
