If your kid is suffering from persistent mouth breathing, snoring and associated recurrent upper respiratory tract infection then cause may be adenoid hypertrophy. Usually a course of steroid nasal spray can be tried. if it's not working then adenoid surgery is necessary. It is usually safe to undergo adenoid surgery at the age of 5 years
