I’m sure you’ve gone to a competent ENT. How old is the child? I was older and having swelling of my turbinates in the nose. I was prescribed a short course of steroids and the swelling went down. I do not know if this is a prescribed treatment method for adenoids or if it will help. Side effects for small children can be a concern. Do the tonsils have to be removed as well as the adenoids? I know many remove them together, but is it absolutely necessary if the tonsils are not the source of the problem? No great advice, just some more questions to ask your doctor. Refuah sheleimah.
