Overview

Adenoids are a mass of lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity that help fight infections during childhood. Enlarged or infected adenoids can obstruct the airway, causing breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep-related problems. Timely diagnosis and treatment help improve breathing, sleep quality, and overall health.

Common Symptoms

• Persistent nasal blockage
• Mouth breathing
• Snoring during sleep
• Sleep disturbances or sleep apnea
• Recurrent ear infections
• Frequent sore throat or sinus infections
• Nasal-sounding speech
• Difficulty breathing through the nose

Diagnosis & Treatment Process

1. Initial Consultation

A detailed assessment of symptoms, medical history, and physical examination is conducted to evaluate adenoid enlargement.

2. Diagnostic Assessment

Nasal endoscopy, X-rays, hearing tests, and other evaluations may be recommended to determine the severity of the condition.

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

Treatment may include medications to reduce inflammation and infection. In cases of significant enlargement or recurrent infections, adenoidectomy (surgical removal of the adenoids) may be recommended.

4. Recovery & Follow-Up

Regular follow-up visits help monitor recovery, improve breathing, and prevent recurrent infections.
