“After my children started kindergarten, I noticed an increase in diseases and breathing problems during sleep which was new to me as a parent...”

That unpleasant year involved frequent sinusitis, sleepless nights, and chronic serous otitis media, which eventually led us to pursue surgery, partial tonsillectomy+adenoidectomy with ventilation tube insertion. Thankfully, after the surgery, all these problems became a thing of the past.

In this part, I will explain how we can reduce the frequency of infections in children, discuss the approach to chronic/recurrent tonsil and adenoid diseases, shed light on obstructive sleep disorders in childhood, and summarize the appropriate treatment approaches based on current scientific guidelines.

(English subtitle) Assoc. Prof. Dr. Onur Ergün explains tonsil-adenoid diseases and scientific treatment options in line with current guidelines.
