Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Forum - Deviated Septom And Adenoids

My 4 year old nephew is suffering from both deviated septum and adenoids.
Since he's too young the doctors can't perform surgery, but he has problem in breathing and he breathes through his mouth.
It's very painful seeing him like that.

Please advise

Has he tried those breathright nose strips that open up your passages? I don't know if they make them small enough for children, but I have the same problem (but not as bad it sounds) and they work to help me sleep.
