Removing Tonsils and Adenoids Alleviates Sleep Disorder in Children

A simple surgery to remove the tonsils and adenoid glands may help children with sleep-disordered breathing sleep and even behave better.

A new study shows that children with sleep-disordered breathing who received an adenotonsillectomy slept and behaved better than before they had the procedure for up to two and a half years later.

Although bigger improvement in the children's sleep was seen six months after surgery, researchers say most of the improvements in the children’s behavior were maintained over the long term.
