Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation of Yours,Your son seem to suffer from-Unremoved but hypertrophic Adenoids obstructing posterior nasal air passage,with accompanied Eustachian tube infections causing earpains along with cold attacks from bacterial/viral infections.
I would suggest Consults with Second ENT Surgeon and get physical examination and investigation for other causes unresolved breathing obstructive difficulties-like DNS(Deviated Nasal Septum) with recurring Paranasal Sinus infections from bacteria / TB infection/ fungal infections,before starting any definitive treatment accordingly.
CT Para-nasal sinuses for cause of repeating breathing problems would be needed along with clinical assessment of your son's case.

Specific replies to your queries are as follows-
1. Through test needs to be done why / what is the reason again he’s facing this similar problem,-
Ans-1-Yes,for this I would suggest you to Consult with new ENT Surgeon for 3rd party assessment of the reasons for recurring breathing problems in your son's case.

2. What kind of treatment is required to get complete cure from this breathing issues ( please suggest without surgery )
Ans-2-If proper assessment is done,it would repeated infections could be kept to minimum by-giving healthy food with citric fruits and vegetables with high proteins and plenty of fluids, along with timely medicines to restrict infections when it occurs.
Surgery could be kept away, unless its a dire need as such.And this is possible if meticulous care of nasal passage is taken with soft nasal filters/nasal masks are used , ultimately preventing infections to minimum.

3. Whom we need to contact regarding his treatment , best hospital and famous specialist
Ans-3-Its any good family doctor/paeditrician / and ENT Surgeon working together to keep your son's general and nasal and para-nasal sinus health at its best, on the principles discussed above.
A timely care from parents and right medicinal approach from your family physician would be enough,than a famous hospital and this can be easily controlled.
4. Often he is having Ear pain, that also need to be treated
Ans-4-As briefed above,the earpain is result of obstructing enlarged infected adenoids,which need to be kept under control with full course of antibiotics at right time,with anti-allergics like Loratidine and monteleucast , with Multivitamins and decongestants with NSAIDs in right combination, for right time period by proper follow ups under right specialist,as suggested herein above.
