9 year old enlarged adenoids/tonsils

My 9 year old son has suffered from chronic congestion since as far back as I can remember. Probably since 3 or 4 years old. When he talks you can tell he is stuffed up. He breathes with his mouth open during the day. I can tell it does affect his sleep. Sometimes his breathing will pause for a few seconds and then he will take a deep breath in. Sometimes I will adjust his position while he is sleeping and it seems to help with his breathing. He does snore at night and I have noticed his head is drenched in sweat even with it being cool in the room or a fan on. The sweating is not every night. Maybe a few times a week. He seems to sweat a lot more then other kids in the summer also while running around. He has had croup, strep, laryngitis, multiple times. Most of those came between the ages of 5 and 7 years of age except one time he got croup around 2 years old. The past couple years he doesn't seem to really get sick or catch any colds or anything. I have noticed his ears are beat red sometimes. Every time I took him for strep or other illness involving his throat the dr. Did mention an ear infection. The past year he has been complaining of his stomach hurting pretty much every day. And also complains of his legs hurting. He does complain of headaches but not everyday. At least 3 times a week. He also says sometimes it's hard to poop. His teacher and nurse at school say he complains almost every day that he doesn't feel good. I recently got a call from the nurse to let me know he has been to the health room 25 times this year. He never has a fever when he goes to the health room so they usually just send him back to his classroom. I have noticed he tries to clear his throat multiple times throughout the day and when he eats he coughs sometimes between bites. He also coughs soon after waking up every morning and 80 percent of the time it leads to him having to throw up. There have been times (rarely) that he throws up during the day from coughing. A couple of those times was at school while eating lunch. He complains of his chest hurting also. Not every day but enough to make me start researching and trying to figure out what I can do to help him get better. He went to the doctors a few months back and I told her all my concerns and she did Notice he had bags under his eyes and could tell this is affecting his sleep. They want him to do a sleep study. Dr said most likely they will recommend the tonsils to be taken out. He was also prescribed flonase, miralax, and prilosec. I have not started giving him any of the medicines because I would like to try some natural things first. They also want to make an appointment to have an endoscopy done. Is there anything I can do to make him better and treat all this myself? I don't want to get his adenoids/tonsils removed or mask all his problems with medicine unless there is absolutely nothing else that will help him.

2. Main complaints and other associated troubles. 
a)Where is the trouble; The exact locality of the complaint like hands,legs etc; duration of trouble. 
ANS. 
Chronic stuffy nose, snores at night, sometimes breathing pauses and also sometimes sweats a lot while asleep. Breathes through his mouth during the day. Complains of not feeling good during the day. Trys to clear throat multiple times a day. Says stomach hurts everyday and also legs hurt alot. Complains of headaches and also chest pain. Chest pain is in the center of the chest. Coughs shortly after waking up and 80 percent of the time leads to having to throw up. Also coughs sometimes in between bites while eating.

Changing position while sleeping sometimes helps with his breathing and helps with breathing pauses.

I feel like he doesn't get enough sleep at night so that makes him not feel good during the day and could possibly also have something to do with the headaches, legs hurting, chest pain. I believe he has sleep apnea from adenoids/tonsils being large.

says it is hard to poop sometimes and that his but hurts.

g)Onset time of troubles in detail, i.e which came first, after that what problem and so on. 
ANS. First was chronic stuffy nose. I noticed that he hasn't had a runny nose since before he was 3. And that he would talk with a nasal sound and breathe with mouth open during the day. Then came the snoring. After that I noticed the pauses while breathing during sleep. Next was the sweating while sleeping. After that it was coughing in the mornings which would lead to throwing up.most recently within the last year the legs hurting, chest, headaches came and also the stomach hurting.

No known history of diseases.

Has had a fine childhood.
Doesn't seem to want to do homework or listen in school. Teacher says he puts his head down alot.

No major incidents.

He is satisfied with family and friends.

Seems to being hungry alot and also thirsty. When thirsty he will make a glass of water and drink it fast right away.

He is pretty picky eater. His favorite thing is toast with butter.

Bowel movements don't seem to be regular. Says It's Hard to go sometimes. When he does go they are solid.

He urinates fine. Doesn't complain ab out anything with that.

Sucks thumb at night. Likes to put cover over head. I usually take it off his head when he falls asleep.
Talks in his sleep frequently.

Sweats a lot on his head when playing and running around outside. The weather drips down his face. Also sweats sometimes while sleeping. Not really dripping just head is all wet and pillow.

If running in the cold it seems to make him cough a little. Summer heat makes him sweat more then all the other kids.

Mental status is fine. No complications during birth.

laryngitis and mono.

Wants to be alone when mad.

He treats the animals great.

No fears that I know of.

He is concerned when others suffer. He also gets teary eyed when our dog who died is brought up.

Thank you for the reply.

I found kali sulphuricum 30c pellets on vitamin shoppe website. Brand is Boiron.

Is that the correct item I need to purchase?

You said with the pellets it would be 3 pellets 3 times a day for 2 days? You said not to swallow with water. When chewed can he drink water after chewing the pellets?

Thanks!
