4 yr son full adenoids&tonsils removed 3/18/15. snoring&breathing issues again.had few colds since sept.can adenoids grow back?nose membranes swollen?

Accepted Answer

Rarely do adenoids : regrow enough to cause symptoms of nasal obstruction. Nasal  congestion &amp; fever, signs of a viral illness, can cause his current symptoms, as can allergies. If he still snores when well, his ENT may perform nasopharyngoscopy to visualize the anatomy &amp; mobility of his velopalatal muscle &amp; the operative site &amp; order a sleep study to rule out Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If concerned, call his ENT now.

See ENT or allergist: You need to find out the cause for the turbinate swelling before you can treat it.  Oral antihistamine alone does not decongest the nose but adding a decongestant (may raise blood pressure and cause insomnia) may. Best to consult your family doctor-ask for a referral if he can't help you.
