Hi,
Thank you for your query. If adenoids are enlarged with infection a course of antibiotics are required to treat the infection and to decrease the swelling.
In addition an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine can be given to decrease the congestion.
If the adenoids are causing frequent and recurrent problems, they has to be removed surgically.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
