If he snores at night.He might develop obstructive sleep apnea.Which can lead to obesity and sleepiness.It can also cause poor performance at school.So you should go for surgery and dont worry he ll be OK.
If he is asymptomatic and there are no recurrent chest infections.Then there is no need of surgery.The increased size of adenoids and tonsils will regress itself
