Enlarged Adenoids - Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment |
Depending on the adenoid growth, nasal obstruction, open mouth sleeping, recurrent sinus infections in children, middle ear infections and middle ear fluid may be seen.
In children with enlarged adenoids, the appearance of a mouth that appears to be open and that there is little communication around can occur. This condition is called "adenoid face".

Children with large adenoids may experience decreased sleep quality and signs of sleep apnea. Repeated episodes of sleep apnea can be seen in children, especially those with tonsils and natriuretic growth.
Endoscopic examination is sufficient for diagnosis of gonad growth. It is not always necessary to remove radiographs.

Postoperative simple ocean water sprayers and pain relievers can be used. As in tonsillectomy, a special diet is not necessary. Only the first 1 or 2 days can be fed with a soft mild diet.
