[quote=Anonymous]DD8 had them out a few months ago. Her issues - snoring, mouth breathing, frequent wake ups (sleep study showed an average of 16/hour), tired throughout the day. She also has allergies and the turbinates in her nose were enlarged. The ENT had us try meds first to see if her sleep would improve with just that. They didn’t, and meds can’t cure the sleep apnea anyway. Plus they had side effects, mainly affecting her behavior. She was on Singulair, Flonase, Zyrtec, and melatonin.

Surgery went well, recovery was ok. They had us alternate between Tylenol and Advil for pain, but by the second day, we switched to just Advil because she was throwing up the Tylenol. Soft foods and lots of ice cream/popsicles for about two weeks, then she was back to normal.

It was an immediate improvement in sleep for her. She falls asleep so much faster and stays asleep now during the night. It also improved her behavior because she isn’t so cranky during the day and she is off the Singulair. Still takes Zyrtec for allergies, but everything drains so much better now because they also reduced the turbinates in her nose. [/quote]
