Hi Ahsan,
If the air way is very much compromised better go ahead and get the surgery done or else the child may have complications due to the obstruction.

If you wish to avoid the operation, she may require a trial with medication as the adenoids are usually enlarged in all children between the ages of 3 and 7. They usually regress after 7-8 years of age.
