Adenoids can regrow at a later age as the rapid growth phase is around 4 years during which time it may again create issues. Use steam inhalation for now. Which technique was used for Adenoidectomy?
Next Steps
Get a consult for nasal endoscopy/x ray nasopharynx- this will help in deciding whether to start nasal sprays
