Based of the symptoms that have been described above...it is best to go ahead with surgery. Adenoid hypertrophy in children tends to harbour a lot of infectious agents while lead to recurrent ear and throat infections. The snoring/repeated ear infections are all sequale of the adenoid hypertrophy. Such conditions affect the overall development of the child. Recent advances in Adenoid and Tonsil surgery such as Coblation adenoidectomy are very safe and help children having adenoid hypertrophy to a great extent. It will genuinely give your daughter a great amount of relief and she will feel much better after surgery.
Next Steps
Should go ahead with the plan of surgery.

Based on your daughter’s symptoms and airway narrowing, she likely has significant adenoid hypertrophy. If medical treatment hasn’t helped, surgery is often the safest and most effective option. It’s a routine procedure in children with excellent outcomes. I’d be happy to see her, review the reports and discuss all options—including non-surgical ones if possible. Feel free to consult me anytime.
