Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. many times adenoids and tonsils are enlarged due to recurrent viral or bacterial infections as well as in allergic cough and cold.
you have to just control recurrent cough and cold due to any of the reasons and the child will not have more than reasonable increase in size of adenoid and tonsils.
any surgical intervention is required only if the child is having difficulty in breathing as well as difficulty in swallowing and difficulty in sleeping at night.
many times nebulization as well as inhalation sprays are given to decrease the size and you can follow your doctor in this.
it is advisable to give flu vaccination to the child which will help in decreasing the chances of viral fever as well as viral cough and cold
childhood asthma is not permanent and many times it goes away and get secured with increasing age of the child.
the doctor will give intermittently montelukast and levo cetirizine combinations and other anti allergic medicine along with either nebulization or inhaler therapy with pump (meter dose inhaler mdi).
you have to understand that this problem can be controlled with medicine but the cure will be done by the body only.
try to find the cause of allergy and if you prevent recurrent triggers then ofnly this asthma will get controlled and eventually will get cured.
