What Could Cause Sleep Problems After Having Adenoids Out?
My 22 month old had her adenoids out, ear tubes placed, and a frenulectomy all at once right after Christmas. Since then she wakes up screaming at night and can only be consoled when I hold her. She is also very irritable during the day. It has been 3 weeks. Is it normal for her to to be having sleep problems and if so, how long do they usually last? Thank you.

Adenoids are the common swelling in the infants or in children. In some it may subside after 1 to 2 months if they are ressolved then adenoidectomy is preffered surgical procedure
