What was the opinion of Child Specialist [also is immunization schedule complete till date] and ENT Doctor? [any associated enlarged tonsils/ pharyngitis]2. is he/she a mouth breather?? [since adenoids causes difficult breathing through nose]3. any change in quality of voice [nasal twang]?4. any problem of breathing during sleep [sleep apnea]?5. is child having low grade fever. not gaining weight or chronic anorexia, persistent dry cough [clinically or as questionnaire]i. Steam Inhalations 3-4 times a day.ii. Warm salt water gargles.

In kids, adenoids usually begin to shrink after about 5 years of age and often  disappear by the teen years. [have a second opinion]2. Recent large study showed, by laboratory tests and follow-up examinations, that children who have their tonsils and adenoids removed suffer no loss whatsoever in their future immunity to disease.3. since he/she is a kid thus may not be comfortable with Ayurveda Breathing and Yoga Techniques, please contact your Attending Physician regarding simple breathing exercises at his/her age.4. As the Age is above 3 years you can contact Ayurveda Physician there or an Ayurveda Hospital for “SUVARNPRASHAN”  [64 drops (3 drops daily)] for a period of 21 days.
