Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Enlargement of adenoids and tonsillar glands to this extent will need surgery sooner.

Meanwhile you can try turning her to the side.
This will help in breathing better with less obstruction.

Decongestants like xylometazoline nasal spray will help in decreasing the symptoms temporarily.

Wishing your child good health.
Regards

Dr Arun
