Not that this is the same thing, but year after year when I was a small child, the Dr threatened to pull my tonsils, I had a unusual amount of strepth throats they thought.
Each time the Dr said I should have them taken out, I balled my eyes out, each time they said.... well we will put it off for now.
Years later as a adult, a different Dr told me I never had to worry about my tonsils , because they had basically disintegrated .
My point is that they were going to do a totally unnecessary operation on me because it was the thinking of the day
I don’t know anything about sleep apnea, but almost seems its the latest new wave illness

My daughter was ADHD. Severe. Never slept and a behaviorl problem. Too late I discovered that she snored loudly when she did sleep. She always had tonsils the size of florida. When they shrunk when she was about 10, no ADHD, sound sleep. If they had been removed she would have grown up to be a very different girl.
I had the only dr in my state who refused to remove tonsils. As I aged and the tonsils collapsed I had chronic infected areas in the crypts that developed from the chronic infection. So at my great old age, I had tonsils out last summer. And it was no picnic.
Thanks for sharing.....Would have been nice though if this sweet little girl had not had hers out
