Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Constant Cold

Hi Doctor, My son is having cold and cough all the time and gets snoring while sleep. Doctors say adenoids are swollen and say it will clear up by age. But he is suffering from cold all the time and no medicine also working fine for him. He will get tit back with in a week. What is your suggestion.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. I am sorry that your baby is not doing well. Some children are more prone to cough and cold. Your doctors have correctly pointed out that his adenoids or tonsils are enlarged. The tonsils regress after a certain age and I guess that you would have to be a bit patient and wait till the condition gradually subsides on its own. Surgery is only advised in case of severe cases where there are episodes of cough and cold several times a year.

You have not mentioned the age of the child and I would have been able to comment better. If age appropriate, gurgle with lukewarm water may give him some relief.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries.
