My 2.9 years Son had a continues cold from 3 months. we have been using medicines and consulted 3 pediatricians. But no use. recently we consulted on doctor and he suspecting that he had an Adenoids and it has to be removed thru surgery. But we are little concerned about surgery as he is not even 3 years old. Please advise and suggest the best approch.

Usually adenoid hypertrophy causes significant nose block, mouth breathing and snoring and sometimes associated obstructive sleep apnea. Recurrent cold usually because of allergy and he needs to be tried using anti allergy medicine for a month before deciding about surgery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
