Question

I'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old daughter. She's been breathing through her mouth for over two years now. We saw an ENT specialist, and they mentioned her air veins are blocked. We did the whole treatment with cepodem, delcan, aerodil syrups, and nebulisation for five days. She seemed to breathe better afterward but still through her mouth. The doctor listened again and heard something that led us to get a nose X-ray. It showed she has adenoid hypertrophy, Grade 4. Theyre suggesting we consider an endoscopic debrider adenoidectomy. Im really unsure about going through with this. Are there any risks with this surgery? Can medication alone treat this, and is she too young at 3.5 for such a procedure? Any advice would be appreciated.
