Having to force-feed a toddler morphine is no fun. However, as a sensible, mature chap, I'm sure you'll manage the pain relief without a tantrum.</p> <p>On the plus side, he grew much faster after they were removed and is a reasonable size for his cohort now (aged 13). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4173#post-11901 Tue, 11 May 2010 05:52:55 +0000 edward hack 11901@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>QQ ..it's only a piece of skin that is both unhygienic and unecessary.

They have to keep an eye on you as you may bleed a bit more (sorry, you did ask). On the plus side, be used to get bad throat infections at least twice a year and now that's sorted. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4173#post-11880 Mon, 10 May 2010 22:36:50 +0000 rikkor 11880@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>They have a new tonsil surgery in the US that requires no incision.

Thompson 11860@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mr BeQ, you have been so advised by a sadist, or at the very least, someone who sincerely wishes you ill. If you shave it all first, the vital operation will have to be postponed until the hair is once again long enough to wax. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4173#post-11859 Mon, 10 May 2010 19:24:38 +0000 QorbeQ 11859@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Someone mentioned having to shave myself bald all over before the op - I do hope it's true, been looking for an excuse to try for years. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4173#post-11857 Mon, 10 May 2010 19:12:35 +0000 The All New Jeni B 11857@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>A Dr friend once told me, that they are wary of removing the tonsils of children these days, partly because they are there to stop infection, and partly because they can regrow.<br /> Not much help to you, but hey ho... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4173#post-11853 Mon, 10 May 2010 19:06:46 +0000 brownpaperreporter 11853@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I had mine out when I was seven.

Mucuos membrane, in the mouth/throat tends to heal very quickly. It will be sore for a few days and eating ice-cream is quite a good idea.
