Good morning..!!
Its a common problem encountered in children.
Adenoid enlargement are cause for frequent cough and cold attacks in children.
A condition called serous otitis media (accumulation of fluid in the middle ear) is the cause for partial hearning loss.
Your child is not getting better with medications, hence its better to go ahead with surgical removal of adenoids.
Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
