Tonsillectomy for toddler

Hi there just after some advice from other mamas in the same boat or have had experience with their wee ones. My son is 17 months he’s only a wee guy around 11kg. he’s constantly unwell with ear infections huge tonsils runny nose constantly and suffers from pretty chronic sleep apnea. He basically has no language which is so different to my other children so he’s clearly having trouble hearing. We have been to see ear nose and throat after being referred by our gp. The surgeon has suggested he needs his tonsils removed adenoids removed and gromits also. He has put us near the top of the list as he felt it was urgent. I’m in the medical profession myself so I do know the scary risks involved etc. I’m having second thoughts about doing the tonsillectomy due to the risks, my question to you mamas is has anyone’s little one of similar age had their tonsils done? Would you do it again or hold off until they’re older? Thanks In advance sorry for the Novel!
