Hello, I totally get why you’re worried. When a little one keeps having a stuffy nose, gets colds all the time, and breathes through their mouth after having pneumonia, it’s really tough for parents. But don’t worry – we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN Your daughter: –Age: 5 years old –Past: Pneumonia on Nov 16th (all clear on X-ray now) –Latest X-ray says: –A bit of adenoid swelling –Some soft tissue making her nasal passage a bit narrow
What she’s dealing with now: –Always a stuffy nose –Lots of coughs and colds –A cough that just won’t quit –Breathing through her mouth Other stuff: –Sensitive to certain foods –Digestion isn’t great, frequent tummy troubles –How long: Over 6 months
AYURVEDIC VIEW In Ayurveda, we see this as:
–Pratishyaya + Kasa (long-term cold and cough) –Lots of Kapha → snot, blocked nose, big adenoids –Mandagni (weak digestion) → getting sick often –Ama formation → weak immune system and constant breathing issues –Her lungs are still a bit delicate after pneumonia
👉 Swollen adenoids in kids usually get better on their own. Especially if they’re not too big and we fix the Kapha and digestion early.
TREATMENT GOAL –Shrink those adenoids naturally –Clear up her nose so she can breathe –Cut down on the coughs and colds –Help her digestion and immune system –Keep her from needing surgery later
AYURVEDIC PLAN
INTERNAL MEDICATION (KID-FRIENDLY)
1. Sitopaladi Churna ¼ tsp with honey, twice a day Good for: cough, phlegm, scratchy throat
2. Talisadi Churna¼ tsp with honey, once a day Good for: less Kapha and fewer colds
3. Guduchi (Giloy) Syrup 5 ml once a day Good for: strong immune system and fewer infections
No strong pills or adult medicine.
2. NASAL CARE (SUPER IMPORTANT FOR ADENOIDS) 1 Shadbindu Taila (a gentle nose oil) 1 drop in each nostril, once a day When: mornings are best Only do it if she doesn’t have a fever
👉 This helps: Shrink adenoids Help her breathe through her nose Break the mouth-breathing habit (A doctor should show you how to do this the first time)
DIET – THIS IS KEY
❌AVOID Cold food drinks Ice cream, chocolate Baked goods Too much milk, cheese Curd at night Bananas Packaged foods These make Kapha worse and adenoids swell.
☑️EAT (EVERY DAY) Warm, fresh home-cooked food Moong dal, rice, khichdi Veggie soups A little bit of garlic in food Turmeric + ghee in food Warm water all day 👉 Good digestion means better immunity means smaller adenoids.
HOME REMEDIES
–Steam (just plain steam)
1–2 minutes
Once daily
–Turmeric milk (if she’ll drink it) A tiny bit of turmeric in warm milk, only during the day
LIFESTYLE TIPS –Stay away from cold air & dust –Keep her head & chest warm –Avoid AC blowing right on her –Make sure she sleeps well –Deal with every cold quickly
👉 Being consistent is more important than just the medicine.
ABOUT SURGERY They only think about adenoid surgery if: –She has bad sleep apnea –Gets ear infections all the time –Has trouble with speech or hearing –Medicine hasn’t worked 👉 Right now, your daughter’s adenoids are only a little swollen, so trying medicine first is the best route.
Your child’s condition isn’t dangerous, and you’re catching it at the right time. With: –The right food –Gentle Ayurvedic medicine –Nose care –Fixing her digestion 👉 Most kids get better without surgery.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
Hello 🙂 Thanks for sharing the report and symptoms in detail. Based on your description, your 5-year-old daughter has mild adenoid hypertrophy, which explains: Constant nose block Mouth breathing Recurrent cough & cold Post-infection cough persisting after pneumonia Poor digestion → immunity link This is very common in children and usually manageable without surgery if treated early and consistently. 🫁 Understanding the condition (simple words) Adenoids are lymphoid tissues behind the nose. When repeatedly infected (cold, cough, pneumonia), they become chronically enlarged, causing: Blocked nasal airflow Mucus drip → chronic cough Mouth breathing → disturbed sleep & immunity 🌿 Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Safe for 5-year-old) 1️⃣ To reduce adenoid size & nasal blockage Anu Tailam (Children dose) 1 drop in each nostril Morning, empty stomach Child lying down, head tilted back 👉 Do daily for 30–45 days ⚠️ Skip during active fever or severe cold 2️⃣ To reduce recurrent cold, cough & improve immunity Sitopaladi Churna ¼ tsp + honey Twice daily after food OR Talisadi Churna (if cough is more) Same dose & method 3️⃣ For chronic cough after pneumonia Vasavaleha ½ tsp Night after food 4️⃣ To correct digestion & food sensitivity Poor digestion worsens adenoids. Drakshasava 5 ml + equal water After lunch OR Balachaturbhadra Churna ¼ tsp + honey Once daily morning 🍲 Diet – VERY IMPORTANT ✅ Foods to INCLUDE Warm, freshly cooked food Rice gruel, moong dal, khichdi Garlic-cooked vegetables Turmeric milk (pinch turmeric + warm milk, night) Pomegranate, apple (stewed) Tulsi water (lukewarm) ❌ Foods to AVOID (big triggers for adenoids) 🚫 Cold milk / curd / cheese 🚫 Ice cream, cold drinks 🚫 Banana at night 🚫 Bakery, chocolates, junk food 🚫 Fried & oily food 🚫 Packaged juices ⚠️ If she has known food allergies, strictly avoid those — they directly worsen adenoids. 🌬️ Home Care Steam inhalation (plain water) 3–4 times/week Keep chest & neck covered Avoid exposure to dust, smoke, cold air Encourage nasal breathing practice gently
