Will Removing Tonsils Help with Snoring?

Tonsillectomy or Adenoidectomy for Snoring
Removing the tonsils or adenoids is a relatively straightforward procedure and it can be very effective at treating snoring. Surgery can be particularly beneficial when the problem goes beyond snoring and is associated with breathing problems.

Will I still snore after a tonsillectomy?

Don't worry it is very normal for your child to continue to snore for several days after surgery because of swelling. When the swelling resolves you will frequently see that your child no longer snores. In fact they are sometimes so quite that parents wonder if they are still breathing.

Do tonsils make snoring worse?

Enlarged tonsils caused by tonsillitis can cause snoring and sleep apnea or worsen current sleep disorders worse. Tonsillitis is especially common in children who suffer from sleep apnea and is a common reason that tonsillectomies are performed in the United States.
