Question 3

My 3-year-old has frequent swelling and infections in the neck area from adenoid issues, along with constant high fever and runny nose. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the adenoids, but we're hesitant because of his age. Are there other options we can try first?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are often alternative approaches to address adenoid issues in young children before considering surgery. Instead of immediate removal, your doctor might recommend a course of antibiotics to address any bacterial infections, along with nasal sprays to reduce swelling. If the adenoids are not causing significant breathing difficulties or infections, they can be monitored to see if they shrink naturally as the child grows older

That could be Pharyngitis,need a course of antibiotics and consume warm foods and also do salt water gargling, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management
