Hello,
Adenoidectomy indicated when the child has a chronic ear infection that
1) Interfere with the child's education
2) Resistant to antibiotics
3) Happens three or more times per year in the two following years. So I agree with your doctor that the child should do adenoidectomy. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
