What generally happens if a child is sick with an earache two days before adenoidectomy?


Does the surgery get cancelled, or do they give antibiotics for preventative measures and go ahead?

They will probably give antibiotics and cancel the surgery until the infection is cleared.

postponed

If the earache is due to infection, the surgery will be cancelled while the infection is resolved. The adenoidectomy will be rescheduled at that time. Surgeries are not performed in the presence of infection unless it is emergency surgery.

They would only postpone the surgery if there is an infection and fever. If there is no infection (maybe the ear pain is related to the enlarged adenoids?) they will go ahead with the surgery. You should call the pediatricians office and have him seen now.
