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.

My son has been dealing with a cold for about 3 months now, and I'm really worried about why it's not getting better. Even after trying different medicines, nothing seems to work. We finally saw a homeopathic doctor, and they mentioned it could be due to adenoids. Ive never heard of adenoids beforecan you explain what they are and how they might be causing these cold symptoms? Is there a reliable way to treat this issue? I'm just looking for some guidance on what to do next.
