Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Adenoids are common and at this age, it's very least likely that you need any surgery. So you probably need not worry at the moment about the surgery. However, to improve the symptoms, I would suggest such children use normal saline nasal drops regularly so that the nose remains clear.

Consult a doctor to check if there is any element of allergy affecting your child and accordingly get some anti-allergic medication prescribed. If symptoms haven't improved, I would advise seeing an ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
