My 5-year-old niece has been having nosebleeds and an X-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctor recommended surgery to remove them but I'm wondering if medication could work instead. Is surgery really necessary in this case? Also, what's the usual cost range for this kind of procedure?

Breathing through your mouth can make it easier for saliva to escape. if excess salivation is due to cold then treat the cause
