My son has been diagnosed with adenoids in the grade 3 to 4 range, and the doctor has suggested surgery to remove them. I'm really concerned and wonder if this surgery is absolutely necessary? Could there be any natural remedies or alternatives we might consider?

It's better to get them removed if not recurrence would be the problem.

my brother has a small hole in his left ear along with sinus issues the doctor recommended sinus surgery first and mentioned his ear problem might improve too can you tell me the average cost of sinus surgery and whether insurance usually covers it

I don't think undergoing sinus surgery is going to cure your brothers ear problem which is most of the times permanent. sometimes it may reduce number of infective episodes in ear. but hole in the ear drum if long standing won't close unless operated. endoscopic sinus surgery cost depends on the surgeon who is operating and centre where surgery is done. cost may range from 10k to 50k.

Yes visit ENT doctor and get it removed as soon as possible.
