If so, how did you feel after? Are you sore? Bleeding? How long to get back to normal?

My son is 4 and going in on Weds to have the above done, and I just want to know what to expect. The consultant told us that with adenoids being removed, there is a risk of excessive bleeding...anyone experienced this?

My daughter had her adenoids out and grommets in about 5 years ago. She was a bit sore for a couple of days but was back to normal really quickly. She had quite a lot of discharge from her ears. She was also not used to noises and it took her quite a while to get used to normal sounds which appeared to be really loud to her. I had my tonsil and adenoids out, and I also had grommits put in my ears when I was about 6/7. I never had any problems. The only discomfort I remember being in was having a sore throat for days (as a result of the removal of tonsils). I don't remember ever having any pain or discomfort from the grommits or adenoids. I had my adenoids out when I was about 4. I still remember waking up in a hospital cot with blood everywhere. Yes, it bleeds a lot. But I don't remember being sore or having any problems.

Grommets is the most common procedure carried out on children and nothing to worry about.

I appreciate your concern as a parent. But try not to worry. Kids are far more resilient than we realise.

Good luck to your son. thank you for your answer on my question i just want to wish your son all the luck in the world,
