My daughter has been breathing through her mouth and the x-ray showed enlarged adenoids. The doctors recommended surgery but we're wondering if homeopathy could help instead. Is it possible to treat this without surgery?

Treatment depends on how severe the condition is. If your child's enlarged adenoids aren't infected, the doctor may not recommend surgery. Instead, the doctor may choose to simply wait and see if the adenoids shrink on their own as your child gets older.
