Adenoidectomy Surgery
My 4-yr 9m-old child has been experiencing recurrent episodes of cold & cough, spanning approximately 1 year & 9 months. Despite multiple consultations with pediatricians & ENT (as once he complainleft air pain), the symptoms persisted, with temporary remissions following medication. Since November last year, the child has been exhibiting persistent cold & cough symptoms, for which we have been administering prescribed medications. Last month, the child again complained of ear pain, prompting a visit to an ENT specialist. ENT informed a mild yellow discharge in both ears. The ENT specialist prescribed a combination of Levolin & Budcort for 15 days & asked for an X-ray. The X-ray report indicates mild soft tissue enlargement in the nasopharyngeal roof, suggestive of enlarged adenoids. Based on this report, the ENT specialist has recommended a 1-month course of Synospray & Sinomet & then adenoidectomy surgery. Is surgical intervention the sole viable option for our child. Pls suggest

If symptoms like ear pain, mouth breathing, or snoring persist after 15 days of medication, the specialist may recommend an adenoidectomy (surgical removal) to provide permanent relief.
