Adenoid hypertrophy is a common pediatric condition leading to chronic nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and recurrent respiratory infections. In cases with persistent or severe symptoms, adenoidectomy is often recommended; however, established non-surgical conservative management options remain limited. A 7-year-old male child presented with chronic nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections for two years. Clinical and radiological evaluation confirmed adenoid hypertrophy. The condition was interpreted as a Kapha-pradhana Urdhva Jatrugata Vyadhi in Ayurveda. The patient was managed with a structured Ayurvedic treatment protocol consisting of internal medications, Nasya Karma, and dietary modifications for twelve weeks. Marked improvement was observed in nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep quality. Radiological assessment showed reduction in adenoid size. No adverse events were reported. This case highlights the potential role of Ayurvedic management as a safe and effective conservative management option for adenoid hypertrophy in children.
