Depends on adenoids tony was performed. If it was suction diathermy or cautery it will take few weeks for the adenoids to completely regress. And cold may be due to existing allergic condition too. Unless there is active bleeding you need not worry
Next Steps
Be assured take simple cold remedies, allergen avoidance

Patient can have cold and congestion post adenoidectomy due to multiple reasons like pre existing allergies or viral infection.
It will take a few weeks for the adenoid tissue to regress and the post operative inflammation to reduce
Next Steps
take medications for cold and continue nasal spray
