5 month old baby has Tongue tie

2017-07-24 07:26:12
My 5 month old baby has tongue tie and has difficulty in feeding.doc has advised to do tongue tie release operation. But am worried as she is very small and for operating they will give general anesthesia. Is it safe to do operation at this age?  Is there any side effect of general anesthesia?

Tongue tie is very common. General anaesthesia in this modern era is very safe. Earlier the surgery, results are better. Procedure takes just 2 minutes for releasing the tie. Please take an appointment with ENT SPECIALIST.
Health Tips
early release will be helpful for feeding and speech
