My 4.6-year-old son has been struggling with adenoid issues for a year now and sometimes can't breathe properly through his mouth. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure what's the latest and safest type of adenoidectomy available? Is going for surgery the right choice for his age?

You can attempt conservative line of treatment(intranasal corticosteroid sprays) till his 5th birthday. If it does not regress by then, please have him undergo Coblation assisted Adenoidectomy under GA.
