hello
the usual age of adenoid removal is 3 years plus.
till then you have to avoid the things that can trigger allergy like dust,cold weather,cold and sour drinks or foods,also avoid ketchup and candies etc.
use a good antiallergic medicine like cetrizine about 5 ml at night(dnt know the trade name of this drug in your country) till he is around 3 years of age and also use monteleukast sachet 4 mg
one at night for 3 months during spring and winters when there are more chances of allergy.use home remedies like hiney 1 tablespoon in 1 glass of luke warm water early in the morning.
hope it will help
