Jaybird -“I don’t know what C&S means.”
Here’s free advice:
Is the throat area still infected? The way to know is by doing a C & S. C – culture the throat, if something grows then S. S – sensitivity – what the bacteria is sensitive to. What medication should be given to the patient.
“They got rid of the cold, strep but the tonsils/adenoids remain swollen.”
It’s possible that even if there’s no infection, that the tonsils/adenoids will remain swollen.
“The issue here is primarily sleep apnea. There a limit how long
you can go on with a kid not sleeping at night.”
You must treat the OSA (sleep apnea)!
Go to a sleep clinic.
Surgery is a last resort!
The options in the clinic are either CPAP (forced oxygen) or OA (oral appliance).
