Thanks for your query. Adenoid removal should give the child relief from nasal obstruction almost immediately , in the post operative period. Although in some cases , the benefit of improved nasal breathing may not become apparent for few weeks after the surgery ( till the operative site heals completely ). You may use topical & oral nasal decongestant drugs for temporary relief, as per physicians advice.
