Hello
Thank you for your question.
You have not mentioned if this is your sons first episode of enlarged adenoids. If this is the case, I would advise waiting to see if there are recurrent infections with enlarged adenoids. Most Ent surgeons will wait for at least 6 episodes to occur prior to advising removal of the adenoids. Referral of pain to the ear is common with enlarged adenoids. I am happy to hear that he has responded to the pain meds and antibiotics. So for now we will just wait and see.
Hope this helps you.
