Hello, yes adenoid enlargement changes teeth and face appearance. Get medications and if the symptoms persist and the adenoid size does not reduce you can opt for surgery

All issues are due to adenoid, kindly get adenoid surgery done at the earliest as it leads to problem with facial look, attention, focus and may lead to ear/hearing problems in future. Mouth breathing leads to disuse of nasal muscles we don’t want that.

Glad to help you out
In my opinion it’s better to do adenoidectomy as it started affecting his facial bone and change is face shape and all also chance of grade 4 adenoid to regress in size is less
And once the procedure is done he will be quickly relieved of his symptoms and no need for any nasal sprays later on
Now latest technological advances like coblation or microdebrider adenoidectomy creates an absolutely blood less field and can even discharge the patient on same day if surgery is performed in the morning
