Adenoids Treatment
What are Adenoids?
Adenoids are small masses of tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity, behind the nose. They are part of the immune system and help fight off infections in children. However, sometimes adenoids can become enlarged, causing various symptoms and requiring treatment.
Symptoms of Enlarged Adenoids
Nasal congestion or obstruction
Mouth breathing
Snoring or sleep apnea
Recurrent ear infections
Treatment Options
Treatment options for enlarged adenoids may include medications (decongestants or nasal sprays) or surgery (adenoidectomy) to remove the adenoids if they are severely enlarged and causing persistent symptoms.
