Do Removal Of Adenoids Affect Physical Features?

Hi Dr, my daughter has been diagnosed with inflamed adenoids and the ENT had recommended surgical removal of both the adenoids and tosils. she is 10yrs old. i had also been reading articles on its affecting physical features and it scares me, but at the same time, am also currently reading articles that do not encourage the surgical removal of the adenoids and to look into other more conservative and non-invasive now available treatments. to this, i am also in doubt as to how effective these 'non-invasive' treatments would be, and at the same time, my preferrence would hopefully be not for surgery. Hope Dr could advice me on matters. Am a Malaysian Chinese. Thank You.

Pediatrician 's  Response
no, no, it is good decision, you shoud remove adenoids, because it is not nice when girl opens mouth every time and blood circulation to brain worse when children have adenoids, they study not well. You should remove adenoids earlier , non -invasive are not effective if she has 2-3 stages and decompensation
