My 11-year-old son has trouble breathing through his nose... He had mononucleosis over the summer, and after his last cold, he just can't seem to get off the nasal drops... He hasn't had any ear infections, but he often complains about his throat. This is what the X-ray showed. What does it mean? Has anyone else experienced this? If the doctor insists on surgery, what's your opinion? Is it worth doing, or should we wait and see if the adenoids shrink on their own?

I don't understand this strong reluctance for the surgery; it's minor, but it will prevent the child from developing that awful adenoid face, an incorrect bite, and other issues.

Marina Fedorova And if it's grade 2, they don't do it. And the snot is driving me crazy.

What's so difficult about this surgery? I had it done when I was 14. Afterwards, it felt like I could breathe twice as much air, at least. Only someone who's been through it can understand. It's similar to the feeling when you try on glasses for the first time and the world looks completely different!

Marina Fedorova You're reading somewhere in the posts that I'm a fierce opponent of the procedure???
Well, I'm definitely for it if needed.

Marina Fedorova They do it if needed. My son had a 2-3 degree, we went in and they did it. Forgot about the runny nose.

If it's stage 3, surgery is needed, and the sooner the better. We had 2 surgeries. Everything is fine.
The worst part is the breathing pauses and poor oxygen supply to the brain. Also, the mouth being constantly open and a bad bite.
