Is Surgery For Hypertrophy Of Adenoid Advisable In A Child?
Hi, My son who is only 21 months old has diagnosed for hypertrophy of adenoid. Doctor advised to do a surgery! We are in a dilemma whether to go for it since he is too young and we dont see him very difficulty in breathing. Yes, he does breath throgh his mouth mostly but we don t see him snores while sleep. Please advise what to do? Thanks

surgery is advices if the child required 4 courses of antibiotics per year as this might lead to the complication of rheumatic fever which included heart and joint complications
