What can i do to make my sons sleep better until his adenoids are removed?


Hes getting his adenoids removed in a few days and its been a pain up until this point. he doesnt sleep, he stops breathing (he has severe sleep apnea) and i dont know how to make him more comfortble until the surgery. He wakes up all night crying in frustration due to his condition, and im just wondering will anything help relieve it?

rise his head with pillows & have him sleep on his side

Depending on how old he is, you could prop him up with pillows. I had to do this with my 3 yr old.
