Hi, my son who is 4 years old has enlarged adnoids, as a result of allergy. He has troubles breathing and even at night wakes up frequently due to air flow problems. Is it wise to remove adnoids surgically at this age?

Hi, my son has similar disorder. He is 5 yrs old and has had night wakenings for last few months. He is allergic to house dust. He appears exhausted after waking up like he can not properly rest. Thepediatrician I was complaining to performed the adnoid x-ray filming and sleep study. Conclusion was that due to enlarged tonsils his air-flow is decreased and insufficient amount of oxygen is beeing present in the blood. The decision was to do the adnoids removal, as it would permanently solve his problem. I believe that it is the best solution for any child, your doctor will make assesment when is the best time to perform the surgery.
