NAVIGATING POST-TONSILLECTOMY WATERS IN AUTISM: A TALE OF COMPLICATIONS AND TRIUMPH
Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is a common surgery performed in the field of otolaryngology. The most prevalent problems following AT are haemorrhage and breathing obstruction, although many individuals do not experience any subsequent difficulties. We would like to present a case of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who developed dysphagia and subsequent detrimental complications, including dehydration, after undergoing AT. This condition requires a multidisciplinary strategy to address the problem and provide special care and treatment for ASD children. By employing an all-encompassing strategy, the child demonstrated notable progress in her symptoms
and was released after recuperation, with laboratory results returning to normal.
