I've had constant ear discharge from both ears for a while now and even had tympanoplasty surgery, but it didn't help. I also have mixed hearing loss in both ears. What could be causing this, and are there other treatment options I should consider?

I'm really worried about my son. He's been having issues with his adenoids for the past year, and he's just 4 and a half. Sometimes he struggles to breathe through his mouth. The doctor mentioned surgery might be the best option. Im curious, whats the newest and safest type of adenoidectomy? Do you think going through with this surgery is a smart move?
For a 4.6-year-old child, adenoidectomy surgery is a common and relatively safe procedure to relieve breathing difficulties, ear infections, and sinus issues caused by enlarged adenoids. The latest and safest type of adenoidectomy surgery is often performed endoscopically through the nose and oral cavity, with minimal blood loss and complications. Benefits of Adenoidectomy Surgery: - Relief from breathing difficulties: Enlarged adenoids can cause nasal obstruction, leading to mouth breathing, which can affect your child's sleep, growth, and development. - Reduced risk of ear and sinus infections: Enlarged adenoids can increase the risk of ear and sinus infections, which can lead to hearing loss, speech delays, and other complications. - Improved sleep quality: Adenoidectomy surgery can help improve your child's sleep quality by relieving nasal obstruction and promoting better breathing.
