Likelihood of adenoidectomy?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with their DC.

DC4 has always snored, been a mouth breather and generally very nasally. When he has a cold he can barely breathe, especially at night, snores very loudly and has pauses in his breathing.

We're waiting on a referral to ENT, what are the chances he will need to have his adenoids removed? I know for sleep aponea they tend to remove them, but if it's not all the time will we have to ride it out? He is also quite grumpy generally and has lost a little weight which is another concern.

Just wanted an idea of what's to come because I'm not sure how long we'll be waiting for referal, thank you.
