Is surgery still indicated for a 2.5-year-old child with adenoid hypertrophy if their symptoms, such as snoring and breathing difficulties, have completely resolved after an eight-week course of Montair LC and Avamys nasal spray?
Generally, if symptoms like snoring and breathing difficulties resolve entirely with medical treatment, surgery is often no longer immediately indicated. The main goal of managing adenoid hypertrophy is to ensure your child breathes comfortably and sleeps well. However, since adenoids can sometimes swell again after stopping medications, it is best to consult your pediatric ENT specialist. They will likely recommend monitoring your child closely rather than proceeding with surgery, which is very reassuring.
