grd 4 adenoids are best removed. But ofcourse depends upon other factors. For detailed history and examination visit an ent surgeon. Postponing for few months is ok ..but for years... it's definitely going to do some irreversible damage...let it be as small as 5-10%.
Next Steps
visit ent surgeon

Incase of Grade IV adenoids, you need to look for other factors such as if the child has any facial changes due to adenoid enlargement called adenoid facies.
Also need to get her ears checked to see if there is any fluid accumulation called serous ottitis media (SOM). Also better to get an audiometry test done for the same.
If Adenoid facies and SOM present, then delaying the surgery further is not advisable as the damage due to these are not reversible.
If the above not present and you still insist on delaying the surgery, then can use momeflo nasal spray and be on regular follow up with ENT for the same.
