If your kid have any of above symptoms, then consult the Doctor which is specialized  by ENT. Doctor will check the size and symptoms of ADENOIDS and prescribed an anti-biotics medicines. Sometimes   ADENOIDS may be removed by Doctors suggestion of its severity. Surgery of removing the ADENOIDS is also called"ADENOIDECTOMY".

ADENOIDECTOMY  is a simple surgery and it is completed with in half an hour. After surgery the kid can go to home within one or two days and soft food to eat after surgery.

There is no need to remove ADENOIDS in all cases but it is only   the kid who has suffering with more sick and breathing problems and hearing problems etc.

I described that what is the meaning of ADENOIDS, where it  is present, causes of swollen ADENOIDS, symptoms and surgery.

Now I am describing about my own experience with my close relatives who had suffering with ADENOID problem and how he recovered from the problem without surgery.

First of all I share some of the symptoms when I watched in that particular kid.

• He was breathing with his mouth.

• Snoring in his sleep.

• Hearing problem - Normally he is very active kid, when I call to him he did not give any reply. In first time I take very easy but three, four times I watched very nearly the kid. I understand that he was facing some ear problems.I checked inside his ear , its looks like whitish colour and I noticed that his ears were infected.

• He did not get good sleep also.

The kid parents consult the ENT Doctor and he recommended to go with surgery.Three, four doctors were suggested to go for surgery to remove the Adenoids. But finally they consulted another ENT Doctor who was working in so many years in medical field and he dealed so many severe cases.This doctor also suggest to go for surgery. But the parents requested to the doctor, if any possibility, you  should  prescribe the medicines without surgery. He check up the kid thoroughly and he prescribed some antibiotic medicines.

Here the parents have in good financial condition, that is not a issue and both are educated and they know some of this type of adenoid cases thats why they strongly believe that don't go with one Doctor suggestion and every health problem solution is not surgery.

For ear problem Doctor gave a precious advice to that parents.But the parents are realized that to compare the doctors suggestions that someone had told go to surgery and someone had told only use medicines.They decided to use the antibiotics  along with Ayurvedic doctor prescribed  medicines, diet food,Yoga etc.

Inside the ear infection was gradually decreased and that particular kid get perfect hearing.

KAPALABHATHI is very effective to control breathing problems. SASHANKASAN, NADISUDHI, ANULOMA, VILOMAPRANAYAMA,  BHRAMARI, UJJAYI PRANAYAMA, SIMHAMUDRA  and chanting OM [A,U,M] etc.These all type of meditation help to reduce the Adenoid problem.

I am not a doctor , but I had experienced the adenoid problem.Three, four doctors were suggested to go for surgery to remove the adenoids. But the kid parents was aware of  some ayurvedic techniques and I also help to collect deep information about Adenoid problems.

They used anti biotics, ayuvedic medicines [doctor prescribed], steaming, gargling warm water,usage of nasal spray, yoga, breathing exercises and healthy diet.This is my own experience to how to control adenoid problem without surgery.

I am not a doctor but I want to share some of my experience knowledge because some people are suffering with this same problem in the world, if at least one person should decrease the adenoid problem after reading of my blog,  its gives me more self satisfaction rather than money.If you have severer adenoid problem consult the Doctor and use the medicines according to his prescription.
