If your son has symptoms of severe nasal obstruction, mouth breathing and snoring for few months to year then surgery is the best treatment as it gives permanent relief. Sometimes intra nasal steroid sprays are tried which can work in some children but in severe cases surgery is the better option
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for more information about the surgery and it's outcomes
