Your sonâs morning sneezing, runny nose and mouth breathing, together with enlarged adenoids on X-ray, can be associated with allergic rhinitis along with adenoid hypertrophy. Enlarged adenoids can obstruct the nasal airway and lead to persistent mouth breathing, snoring and disturbed sleep. Allergic rhinitis commonly presents with sneezing, clear nasal discharge and nasal congestion.
Next Steps
I would recommend an evaluation to assess the degree of adenoid enlargement and whether it is significantly obstructing the nasal airway. The treatment decision should depend on the child's symptoms, sleep quality, nasal obstruction and response to conservative management rather than the X-ray finding alone. If allergy is contributing, controlling the nasal inflammation can sometimes reduce symptoms and improve nasal breathing. Surgical treatment is considered when obstruction or sleep-disordered breathing is significant or persistent despite appropriate conservative care.

Health Tips
Keep the child's sleeping environment dust-free, wash bedding regularly and minimise exposure to dust, smoke, strong fragrances and other known triggers. Encourage nasal breathing and adequate hydration. Observe whether he snores regularly, sleeps with his mouth open, has restless sleep, pauses in breathing, excessive daytime sleepiness or difficulty concentrating, as these may indicate sleep-disordered breathing and should be discussed with the ENT specialist.
