Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Adenoids cause secretion of mucus,which pass through nasopharynx and cause cough, you should wash his nose daily with nasoclear or physiological solution to remove mucus,bacteria,allergens from nose. You can discuss query about adenoectomy with your treating Doctor.
