What should you ask during the second opinion?

Are the enlarged adenoids definitely causing the patient's symptoms?
Is adenoidectomy necessary, or are medicines and monitoring reasonable alternatives?
What are the expected benefits, possible risks and recovery time?
Will the patient need any additional examination or tests before the procedure?
What is the estimated total cost, including hospital charges, anaesthesia and follow-up visits?

Carry the previous ENT doctor's prescription, examination findings, test reports and details of medicines already tried. These records help the second doctor assess the case without unnecessarily repeating investigations.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
