Hi. First of all adenoids are not common at the age of 12 years. Please go for an ENT Endoscopy by an ENT Surgeon and may be a CT Scan or MRI to see there is not other serious problem. You can start with an antibiotic , oral decongestant , nasal decongestant drops, steroids if needed as advised by your ENT Specialist. If this is confirmed as adenoid and not getting benefit from medicines , you may have to go for surgery.
