My daughter is 19months old and suffers from chronic ear and throat infections. She has had tubes put in a 9 months old but still continues to get them. X-rays show she has very large tonsils and adenoids and they need to be removed. My ENT said the earliest is 2 1/2 and I would have to go to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to have it done. I know it can be done sooner but need positive confirmations. I will not let my daughter suffer another year on antibiotics with infections and 104 fevers. Please help me find the answers.
