Hi,

I am afraid that the best solution in this case is surgery. Any other treatment will not help cure aderoid. You can use topical medicines like steroides for short time just in case his condition gets worse in order to help him. But in any case, the solution is surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

The only definitive solution about adenoids is surgery. Any other medicine is temporary. I will suggest to try to use a higher pillow as it may help cause less snoring.

You can also use aerosol with NaCl in evening to help him breath better. But all of these are just to help reduce the condition and not to solve the problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
