I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Adenoids are part of protective system around our throat. They may be enlarged in some children and can cause cause snoring, growth failure and heart disease even.
Only cure is surgery if they are causing infection time and again.
If properly removed, they can never come back.
Hope, I answered your query.
Regards
