REMOVING TONSILS ADNOIDS IN RELATION TO TEARDUCTS

[spank]

Due to blocked tear ducts we had stents put in(january) and removed after several months(2 year old boy),it cleared up well, sometimes he will get some discharge and infection from one eye. We the visited several ear,nose and throat doctors in n.y. All have said we should remove his tonsils and adnoids they are extrmely enlarged.The doctor who gave us the most confidence reccomends we scrape the tonsils down and not remove them same w/ adnoids.
My questions:
1.Have you heard of this?Feeling?
2.Will it possibly stop the tear duct situation as far as discharge, since we have been told adnoids act as a cork and can block the fluids from draining through tear duts?

I do not know about the taer ducks but you said your sons tonsols and adnoids are enlarged. My daughters were enlarged and caused sleep apnea. So bad that they did emercancy surgery to get them out. I would defiantly ask my doctor if the swollen tonsols could be so enlarged that it could cause him apnea problems. The surgery took about a hour and she was in the hospital 2 days she didn't have much pain, but she was a little uncomfortable being stuck in the bed with all the wires and stuff.
