Hello and welcome to HCM,
Adenoid hyperplasia can be managed by surgery alone.
Adenoids cause symptoms due to blockade of upper respiratory tract like nasal congestion and infection.
The symptoms can be controlled by using anti-histaminics and antibiotics.
Surgical removal is the definitive treatment for adenoid hyperplasia.
I suggest you to consult your ENT specialist for clinical assessment and plan surgery.
Thanks and tale care
