The presence of adenoids after age of 5 years indicated that it is full of multidrug resistant germs that are a sitting time bomb waiting for the right opportunity to attack and destroy your child's vital organs.
Next Steps
Please take him to a good ENT Surgeon and get it removed surgically immediately.
Health Tips
Postoperative recovery and safety is better if your doctor uses Coblation wands for this surgery.
