TONSILS AND ADENOIDS ENLARGEMENT

Tonsils and adenoids are the body’s first line of defense as part of the immune system. They identify bacteria and viruses that enter the body through the mouth or nose, but they sometimes become infected. Tonsils and adenoids are similar to the lymph nodes or “glands” found in the neck, groin, and armpits.

Tonsils are in the back of the throat.

Adenoids are high in the throat behind the nose and the soft palate. They are not visible through the mouth or nose without special instruments.

Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils. The symptoms are: redder than normal tonsils, swelling, and sore throat, sometimes accompanied by the earache, a white or yellow coating on the tonsils, fever, bad breath.

When adenoids are enlarged, the nose sounds blocked, the child breathes through the mouth and snores at night. Because the pauses in breathing for a few seconds at night and disturbed sleep the child may feel sleepy at daytime and have problems in school performance. Chronic infections of adenoids can lead to ear infections and buildup of fluid in the middle ear that may cause temporary hearing loss.

Tonsillitis is first treated with antibiotics. Removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) and/or adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be recommended if there are recurrent infections despite antibiotic therapy, and/or difficulty breathing due to enlargement of tonsils and adenoids.
