There will not be any reduction in the size of adenoids with medications...there will be resolution of symptoms like nasal discharge, nasal obstruction
Next Steps
Presently if the child is asymptomatic nothing needs to be done.
However if there is persistent nose block, mouth breathing, snoring or earache, surgery (Adenoidectomy) will be needed
