Hello,
I will share with you both side of the stories here.
Firstly,
My son had Adenoids and snoring problem with recurrent ear infection since he was 2 years old, we managed symptoms until he was 5 and then finally decided to bite the bullet and agreed removing adenoids (not tonsils as they were ok) and grommets on both ears, ever since he is sleeping perfectly. So In hindsight we thought it was a good decision to opt for surgery but, recently we found another cure for adenoids while have to deal with the same problem now for our daughter who is only 17 months old.
My daughter started developing snoring and ear infections so often that we had to get her admitted into children's hospital and did sleep study , although sleep study didn't show much of a problem sleep physicians suggested to take adenoids out because of her recurrent ear infection. We were absolutely distressed.
Eventually my mum suggested to try traditional medicine which we did not try for our son.
The medicine is Honey, Ginger juice (few drops) and Lemon Juice (few drops), but a good quality organic honey, take nearly a tea spoonful and then add 3-4 drops of freshly squeezed ginger juice ( the best way to get juice out of ginger is to grate them finely and then squeeze them) and also add 3-4 drops of lemon juice, mix them and give it to your kid twice a day morning and evening before going to bed.
It did wonder for Evani and she has now stopped snoring all together, last week after stopping the honey for about a week and have been away on holidays, she had runny nose and snoring again and we started with the medicine and after 2 days she stopped snoring and no fever and runny nose.
I hope this remedy works for your kids as well.
Thanks, Arun

Great! My 5 year old has this problem. How much should I give each day? Is the quantity for two dosages for one day?

Thank you for the post above, Arun. It's really nice that people like you are willing to share such info. My 2.5 year old son snores, has some nasal polyps and I suspected swollen adenoids. You remedy seems to be helping It's the 3rd day today and snoring is greatly reduced. I can still hear some noisy breathing. But not as much as in the previous days. Can I please ask, do you give this honey ginger lemon mix everyday? Thank you again Laxmi

My daughter is 15 months and she had adenoid which result to noisy and sometimes difficult breathing... though she has a PDA issue.... do you advise I administer the honey, ginger and lemon solution to her instead of opting for surgery. Can this solution cure in totality the adenoid. Thanks waiting for your response.Replied By Enoto (Abuja) on 03/03/2017

My 6 year old daughter is also having adenoids issue. There are many organic honey brands available in the market. Which is the one you used for your kids? Hope this helps my daughter.

Thanks for the remedy and happy that it worked for you. I have a daughter 4 months old and she is suffering from enlarged adenoids. I am not sure if this remedy can be used on 4 month baby as I have read that honey for infants is not safe as it contains some botulinum component which is not good for infants. Has anybody tried or heard about trying this remedy on infants and is it safe?

Dear Vikram,
Honey should not be given to infants under a year old. Perhaps you could use the ginger juice and lemon juice in water instead of honey. The ginger and lemon alone may be enough to cure the issue.

Wow, if it is helping, I would keep at it and see if the condition completely resolves, even if it takes a few months.

Thank you! Can I ask about the dosage for each kid? How much of the mixture they took?

No, your point that Infants under the age of 1 shouldn't take Honey is wrong, because elders give Honey to below 1 year olds everyday because intake of Honey, everyday by Infants who hadn't yet began to talk, will help them in begining to talk basic words earlier than other children who don't intake honey.
