question: Good Morning Doctor. My son is 11 months old now. When he was having cold last month, he was doing mouth breathing. We did a Xray and he was diagnosed with adenoids. ENT specialist checked him and said that he is breathing through nose and told that if he is sleeping with no issues, then no need to remove these. If any issues again come for checkup. Two days before he is again having stuffed nose. we applied some menthol ointment and now he is ok and no sleep disturbances. I want to know when is the safe age to do surgery if needed. Is my son OK now? Please reply doctor.
