Brief Summary  

All children presenting to ENT OPD with symptoms of chronic adenotonsillitis will be included in the study. An informed consent will be obtained from the parent/guardian of each child enrolled in the study.  Detailed history, general physical examination, ear, nose and throat examination will be done. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and X-ray nasopharynx also would be used. After doing all of the above mentioned, presence of adenotonsillar hypertrophy will be confirmed. Following which parents/guardians will be asked to fill questionnaires on quality of life(OSA 18 and PVRQOL) of their children pre-operatively. Later 3 months after adenotonsillectomy, they will be again asked to fill in the same questionnaires to assess the impact of surgery in the child’s life.
