After discussion of the risks and benefits of performing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy per routine, parents will be offered (if child meets inclusion criteria elaborated below) to participate in this research study. This discussion will take place either during the clinic encounter when the patient is signed up for their surgical procedure or on the day of surgery. The Informed Consent Statement will be reviewed with the parent/patient and either the surgical staff, resident investigators, or clinic nursing personnel included in the IRB proposal will be the individuals performing the discussion with the parents. If parents are agreeable to participating in the study and all questions have been asked and no exclusion criteria met, then the child will be enrolled.
