obstructive sleep apnea because of enlarged adenoids are common, and it's very disturbing to the child and the family.
if he is already scheduled for surgery, a steroid nasal spray will very helpful , like flixonase nasal spray , it decreases inflammation and decrease size of adenoids and has very very little systemic absorption that you should not worry about .
I hope this helps
