My 4-year-old son has grade 3 to 4 adenoids for the last 9 months. He weighs 14.6 kg and has had no fever or infections except once last month. His only symptom is slight mouth breathing without snoring. Is surgery really necessary, and if so, what's the least painful option for him?

While slight mouth breathing and grade 3-4 adenoids in a 4-year-old can indicate a potential issue, adenoidectomy (surgery to remove the adenoids) is not always necessary. In many cases, enlarged adenoids resolve on their own, especially as the child grows. A qualified ENT doctor should assess your child's specific situation and symptoms to determine the best course of action
