Hi... Greetings from Chennai. I am a consultant Pediatrician in Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital, Nungambakkam, Chennai.
It is very uncommon for a 9 year old kid to be requiring an tonsillectomy and surgery to drain the sinuses.
Now a days these are being treated simply by intranasal steroid and the results are fantastic.
