hi deb my name is edwin. I work at a sleep disorders center. if your daughter has a problem with obstructive sleep apnea, I would suggest getting an evaluation through an ENT (ear nose and throat doctor). the removal of her tonsils may do the trick but only a doctor would be able to tell if that will work. it is my advice. If you want to keep in touch with me I'll be glad to hear from you. my e-mail address is casaloca1@aol.com. I work at a sleep laboratory in philadelphia. hope to hear from you soon
