Surgical decision depends on many factors. If you have tried with medicine for long time and failed to see any improvement think about surgical removal. If your child snores every night, if he has suffered from ear infections, if he is having severe breathing difficulty through nose it's better to get it done.

Meet ENT surgeon.
