ENT, IS surgery needed?
My son is 6 years and he has wheezing and there is muscle growth in throat and back of the nose.. A familiar doctor told me that by proper breathing exercises, the muscle growth in nose can be cured... Will it help..??
I have a doubt whether salt water gargling will help to get rid of the muscle growth in throat??
Actually I don't want a surgery... ENT doctor told me to take an xray and come, to say me whether surgery is needed... He gave montelucast with levocetrizine syrup for 15 days...
Further, for wheezing, my son is having budecort inhaler, a puff daily and asthalin when he have wheezing.

You're son has recurrent Adenotonsillitis. As he has crossed 5 years of age, both the Adenoids and the Tonsils can be safely removed.
However, I would recommend that he underwent Coblation assisted Adenotonsillotomy rather than the conventional surgery. It is far less painful and rapid post operative healing and with very few postoperative complications.
Please discuss this with your ENT Surgeon.
