Hello,
It is better to get the surgery done if the child has symptoms.
There are nasal sprays available in the market which have proved to decrease the size of the adenoids. The nasal spray is mometasone spray to be used once in a day.
You should consult your doctor for the method how to use it and the dosage for the spray .
In doubt do reply.
