Hello doctor, my son is 7years old and having enlarge adenoid problem. He has heavy breathing and snoring at night and also he never have very sound sleep in night. He has sensitive nose and watery nose. He sneeze too much due to this reason. I am doing some homeopathy medicines for allergy. My question is - should we go for surgery ort wait for sometime and when he will growup then it will be corrected? any side effects of the surgery like problem in ears or throat? is this type of surgery are safe and what are the chances that adenoid will not grow in future? thanks

Actually adenoid are the guards sitting in back of your nasal passage and they protect the system from bacterial invasion and provide natural defense to kids tonsils and adenoids are two main glands which are very helpful in normal situation but in case the infection is more than they require to be treated, normally after 5 yrs they start shrinking and slowly disappear, but in some cases they take little longer. They responds normally to antibiotics, but in severe cases surgery is advised, if not responding than surgery is the only choice, there is nothing wrong in surgery and child will be fine soon.
