A. If your son is diagnosed with adenoids, here are some important precautions and general care tips: Keep him away from allergens and irritants like dust, smoke, and strong perfumes, as these can worsen symptoms. Ensure he practices good nasal hygiene, such as gentle nasal saline sprays to keep the nasal passages moist and clear. Maintain a healthy environment with proper humidity, avoiding dry air that can irritate the nose and throat. Encourage adequate rest and hydration to support his immune system. Follow the doctor’s advice carefully regarding medications—these might include nasal corticosteroid sprays to reduce swelling, or antibiotics if there’s a bacterial infection. Monitor for symptoms like persistent mouth breathing, snoring, difficulty swallowing, or recurrent ear infections, and keep regular pediatric follow-ups. In some cases, if symptoms are severe or causing sleep or hearing problems, surgery (adenoidectomy) may be recommended. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any medication or treatment to ensure it’s safe and suitable for your son’s specific condition.
