Adenoids surgery
Hi sir/Madam,
My kid is 3.6 years old and he has enlarged adenoids. Due to which he has trouble in sleeping, frequent cold and cough. And also he is not gaining weight.
We have been suggested to go for surgery as the x ray showed the adenoids are quite big.
Our concern is that he is under weight. 11.4 kg.
Is it ok to go for the surgery, considering the weight.
Please suggest on this and we will be very thank full.
