We are living in Bangalore and my 4 year old son have enlarged Adenoid (for last year and half). Due to this he s prone to cold and his body resistance to infection is little low. We consulted few ENT specialists w.r.t removal of enlarged Adenoid via surgery. We got mixed opinions on that. As I understand Adenoid is first level of defense in the respiratory track and it s removal can have unfavorable consequences in longer run. Also there s chance of getting it back between age 6-8 yrs. We are following Homeopathy & Ayurvedic treatment (off and on) for last year or so. My son is some-what better w.r.t frequency of getting infections. But still he snores a lot and breaths with open-mouth most of the times. We are just worried if this prolong mouth-breathing will do some damage to his internal organs and ears (due to some-what frequent chest & ear infection).
