Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Don't operate on your child while he is having infection. Give him antibiotic Tablet Amoxicillin twice daily x 7 days. Take tablet Levocetirizine 1 tab at bedtime for 7 days. Start taking beta done gargle thrice daily for 7 days. If he is having episodes of infection more than 5 in a year surgery is needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
