Dear parent, teething usually diminishes the child's immunity and makes him more prone to developing cold. it is not possible for a 5 month baby to develop complications from adenoids. I agree with your doctor that there is an element of allergy. I recommend you give the child a mast cell stabilizer as singular sachets once daily for 14 days to relieve the allergy and congestion
