Hi,
Noted the history about your 3 year old son having OSA, enlarged
adenoids and enlarged tonsils. ENT Surgeon's advise noted.
My thoughts:
An actual history taking and an actual examination by the ENT Surgeon is always decision making.
Surely a course of antibiotic, antihistamine and ant-inflammatory will be most useful Oral
steroid may be advised.
Wait for three weeks of good course of medications and see the results.
Surgery is done only if the medical line of treatment fails.
Decongestant nasal drops, sleeping on one side can help with OSA.
So follow the advise of your ENT Surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
