Hi.... by what you say I feel that your brother is having upper airway resistance syndrome and this is inturn causing sleep disordered breathing which will reduce his day time activities and increased daytime sleepiness.
As you have asked for options other than surgery, I suggest using intranasal steroid spray like Mometasone or Fluticasone. I suggest you approach your brother's pediatrician regarding this.
