Nine local mothers who blog about parenthood visited MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC) on July 31 to meet MGHfC physicians and learn about three popular pediatric health topics – obesity, food allergy and sleep behavioral disorders.
Craig Canapari, MD, a MassGeneral Hospital for Children pulmonologist and sleep expert, answers questions about the American Academy of Pediatrics’ revised sleep apnea guidelines, which say all children and teens who frequently snore should be evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), all children with OSA and enlarged tonsils should consider having their tonsils removed, and all children who undergo tonsil removal surgery should be re-evaluated for sleep apnea and consider alternate treatments if their condition has not improved.
