What Can Be Done Aside From Adenoid Surgery For Enlarged Adenoids?
hi doc...My son is 4 yrs and 4 months old now.Since last year he is suffering from recurrent cold and cough .Sometimes these get worse up to the level of high temperature.He snores also and sometimes he has ear pain also and his front teeth has come out a little.We have also tried Homeopathy for about 8 - 10 months.Homeopathy gives a relief but still my son gets throat infections every month. Our Ent is saying that it is b coz of enlarged adenoids and it has to be removed because according to him now it is effecting his middle ear also{Ent has checked his ear pressure also;which showed that his right ear has some problem-Graph peak was not proper}.Is adenoid surgery the only solution? We are scared of the aftereffects of surgery,mainly the severe bleeding that generally happen after these kind of surgeries.Please advise.Regards.

Surgery is an option, but you may try topical steroids with antibiotic sprays. But if adenoids are very large, surgery may be only one resolution.
