Dear Agnes, I apologize for the dalay in answering you question. Removing your child's tonsils and adenoids may or may not improve her condition. It is important to consider other less invasive options before submitting to surgery. While allergies often run in families, sometimes children with no family history suffer from allergies. Frequently allergic rhinitis is seasonal, which means the child tends to suffer worse certain times of the year .
Allergies can be worse during pollen season in the spring or in late summer due to hayfever.
Fall has been especially bad this year in the US due to high mold counts. If her rhinitis is year-round, it may be something in your house, like pets, smoking, perfume, dust mites, or cleaning solutions. Referral to an allergist may be helpful in this regard. Chronic sinusitis should also be considered as well as less common underlying causes such as cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies, or metabolic disease.
