What are Adenoids | Causes | Symptoms [ Is Adenoidectomy Necessary for a Child? ]

[@lorib786]

Really well explained, I feel much better after watching this, both my children had ent surgery this week (7 year old had adenoidactomy and turbinate reduction) (16 year old had turbinate reduction) my youngest had a reaction to the GA and has had an awful week. I started to wonder if it was all worth it for him. I feel very reassured, thank-you. I wish my eldest had been seen earlier. We had been referred to paediatricians previously but was never picked up. It was only when I noted adhd symptoms that I felt were linked to chronic sleep disturbances when he was 14 that I mentioned it to our brilliant family dentist. He referred us to the ENT Consultant. My youngest has had respiratory issues all his life, later diagnosed with a dairy intolerance. I started to feel truly neurotic as every paediatric doctor told me he was fine and was just a mouth breather? As soon as I met the ENT consultant, he diagnosed the issue in both my boys in 5 minutes!!! I’m annoyed with myself for not advocating more for my children. My eldest went from As to Ds and ENT doctor described him as dangerously sleep deprived through sleep apnea! I never sought psychiatric input as my instincts told me it was his sleep issues not adhd. I expect many children have been diagnosed with adhd without ent assessments or sleep studies to rule out a physical cause. Thank-you for explaining the potential consequences of not going the surgeries. I needed to hear this today. I have spent thousands seeing paediatricians and this also made it challenging as we don’t have thousands to spend, I’m truly grateful to our family dentist for taking the time to ask questions and making the referral to ENT. My eldest has also had a brace fitted and some device to move his jaw. Both children snored, talked, shouted in their sleep, on occasion slept walked and have crowded teeth and dry lips. I pray the surgery makes life easier for my boys. 🙏 if you are on the fence, please talk it through with an ENT specialist as I feel my eldest school life and confidence could have been better supported with earlier intervention. 🤍

[@elsabueno16]

Thank you for sharing. My 7 year old just underwent an adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy and turbinate reduction today. I can relate to similar experiences as both my children also went through sleep disturbances and change in academics. My daughter underwent a T& A removal when she was about 14/15 and I wish I would have done it sooner. She is now 18.

hi please let me know after the surgery if shes or he gets better after surgery because my son still waiting for a surgery too

My son is 6 years old now. At 18 months old, he had about 8 ear infections. Enough was enough! We got tubes and adenoids removed. Not a single ear infection since, and, he only gets sick about once or twice a year. Hardly a runny nose ever! I recommend it.

The best video ever to solidify my decision to get the procedure done on my 5 year old son. Never would I have linked my sons hyperactivity, grumpiness and dry lips to enlarged adenoids. I was very opposed to get his done since the ENT doctor that we have gave me no detailed information like the one I have found in this video. Had I known this I wouldn’t have lost so much time fighting the procedure. The elongated face jammed teeth, gummy smile and especially heart problems was the biggest shocker to me. Thank you for putting me at ease. I know 100 percent now that I made the correct choice to not ignore the doctor’s recommendation.

[@SinusDoctor1]

What a wonderfully clear and comprehensible explanation of adenoids! Excellent! I wish every doctor, particularly in clinics, would expound on medical issues in a similar manner, fostering a sense of comfort and confidence among patients. Sadly, this seems to be lacking in today's era, as the medical profession is increasingly adopting a business-oriented approach at an alarming rate.

[@Mamimo412]

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Your guidance has been invaluable as my 8-year-old son prepares for adenoidectomy next week. I was uncertain about proceeding with the surgery, but his severe nocturnal apnea and persistent noisy breathing in the mornings, coupled with recurrent cold and flu episodes despite medications and antibiotics, have led us to this decision. His doctor has advised adenoidectomy as the best solution. Please keep my little son in your thoughts for a smooth procedure and recovery.🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, happy i could help. Wish him the best of surgery and recovery.

[@Mamimo412]

Hello again, On the 5th day after my son's adenoidectomy, he still experiences a stuffy nose, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sunken eyes. At night, he suffers from sleep apnea, noisy snoring, and continues to breathe through his mouth. Although he slept comfortably the first night post-surgery, he still feels throat pain. I am concerned that consuming ice cream, though recommended for treatment, may exacerbate his symptoms. Despite offering soft foods like mixed dishes and soup, he refuses to eat as he prefers solid foods like bread and pizza, which are currently restricted. Additionally, his respiratory rate ranges between 9 to 14 breaths per minute. When can I expect improvement in his nighttime breathing, and when can he resume consuming bread and other solid foods?

What a brilliant explanation Doctor. My son had his Adenoidectomy today at Oxford University Hospital in the UK. For last 4 years ever since we arrived in the UK he kept developing ear infections, otitis media, blocked nose and severe allergic rhinitis. Doctors here gave him Avamys but asked us to monitor. Avamys could only provide temporary relief. So we had his Audiometry test done and XRay where it was found he had eustachian tube stenosis. Poor kid suffered a lot. So the Doctors finally asked us to go for Adenoidectomy. Fingers crossed hope he outgrows all the problems now.

[@SinusDoctor1]

He will do good. Glad you liked the video.

[@crsp76691]

just got my 5 year old seen and x-rayed due to noticeable mouth breathing at night with cough, during swimming and endurance activities. Also he seems tired and grumpy with lack of patience. after xray discovered 60-75% blockage. just ordered a sleep test, but looks like regardless we will have them removed. I learned about this from another parent at kiddie gym. Excellent video though this helped with our decisions

Explained so well and complete information to help so many parents take informed decision. Sir, what to expect post surgery? Are children going to be more vulnerable to infection and is it possible for adenoids to reoccur?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Thank you. Post adenoidectomy, child will have to use medicines and trace rest as advised. Children will not be susceptible to infections because of adenoidectomy. There is a 5-10% chance for adenoids recurrence. That is why it is necessary to keep allergies under control

[@siraatalmustaqeem6143]

@@SinusDoctor1 that’s a relief. The way he was talking at the time, it seemed like an anomaly that they hadn’t shrunk away by that point. I wound up having deviated septum surgery instead of adenoid removal, which (combined with seasonal allergy medication) cleared 75% of my symptoms.

Glad to know. Take care

[@niki-matildajanegoodhartpe3465]

Curious as to why you've chosen not to remove your adenoids? I suspect my husband also still has adenoids and is the root of problems for him. He has a CPAP, but he has Apnatic episodes while standing and talking! My 8yo daughter just had her adenoids removed for a 2nd TIME (1st time was adenotonsilectomy @ 4yo) 35 mintues ago. One of them grew to completely block her nasal passage. The ENT said he's never done it a 3rd time, that it'd be 1 in a million. I was googling the chances of them regrowing again and her needing a 3rd surgery when I came across this video.

[@ciomaria6137]

@@niki-matildajanegoodhartpe3465 good question… I found out I still had adenoids when I was approximately 30 years old or so. Up until that point and to this day, no doctor I’ve ever had has recommended or suggested I remove them. My ent just commented it was funny they were still there. More pressing was my severely deviated and overly thick septum, which he recommended surgical correction for and I had. That procedure alone was a huge life improvement for me.

Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, thank you for the wonderful explanation. My 3-year-old son has some symptoms you have mentioned, and two ENT doctors of two hospitals in China suggest my son should have his adenoids removed based on the following: 1. CT-scan and X-ray show his adenoids are in grade 3 (70% blockage). 2. He wakes up 1-3 times a night, but he’s still quite energetic in the day, no daytime fatigue or short attention span. 3. He sometimes breathes through his mouth, and sometimes snores, but not always. 4. He sometimes rubs his nose and sniffs. Can enlarged adenoids cause that or allergy? He is kinda allergic to dust. 5. Nothing wrong with his ears; no ear infection. My questions are 1. “Do you think his symptoms are severe enough to have a removal operation?”. 2. Or should we try medication first and see if there is any improvement, and then decide whether to have an operation later? I trust you and really need your advice. Thank you for your time.

Hello Doc, is it adviceable to allow a 5 months old undergo the surgery?

[@prashantkadam2632]

Hi sir ..thank you for your information lectures. My daughter has adenoids since 3 yr and now is is five. Doctor advised surgery. Tonsillectomy and adenectomy causes any side effects like changes of voice quality? Please explain

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, voice change should be expected. It is not a side effect. She will be speaking with her natural voice once she completely recovers from surgery. The nasal tone of the voice will be restored after surgery.

[@iqbalhunza]

Dear Dr. Thank you for the wonderful explanation - not everyone can explain so clearly. I have my four years old son scheduled for surgery (adenoids + tonsils + RT insertion). He has all the symptoms you have mentioned. I was very skeptical about taking the decision for going for the surgery although I have consulted with multiple doctors. Based on the symptoms you have shared and the implications for not going for the surgery, now I am convinced that I should get it done as recommended by my sons ENT doctors and the information you have shared. I just want to share the X Ray with you if you can kindly share your email address so you can assess the size of the adenoids. (if possible)

​@@SinusDoctor1Thank you Doctor! I have watched a series of video on ENLARGED ADENOIDS but I can say this is the best I have ever watched. Please, can I have your email address sir? I want to share my daughter's X-ray result with you for you to help me assess the degree of her Adenoids enlargement if it requires surgery. Her ENT has given her the first round of treatment but ALL the symptoms came back 3 months after the treatment. Meanwhile, the ENT doctor is currently on vacation but I need to make a decision (for surgery or otherwise) before he resumes sir.

[@deepubevinal2616]

Very informative sir.. we consulted ent, doctor gave antibiotics n suggested surgery if repeated...along with antibiotics,does home remedies help to get ride of adinoids in children like gargling,garlic,honey, turmeric etc...

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, Certainly, home remedies like gargling, honey, turmeric, and garlic can help manage some symptoms of adenoid problems and boost immunity. However, they can't shrink the adenoids or cure adenoid hypertrophy. In cases where adenoid enlargement is causing significant symptoms such as snoring, breathing difficulties, recurrent ear or sinus infections, Surgery is recommended. Always discuss additional treatments with your child's doctor. They provide the best personalised advice.

Hello Doctor Thank you for such infomative video. My daughter is 7yrs old. We were supposed to take the flight and my daughter was having flu that time. During the flight landing she had severe ear pain. We consulted the ENT afterwards and got to know that her eardrum is retracted during the flight landing. ENT has advised putting gommets and also removal of adenoids and tonsils? *I have 2 concerns here.* 1) Is it possible to put gommets in the retracted eardrum ? 2) Does adenoids removal will open the eustachian tubes ?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, grommets can be placed in a retracted ear drum. Adenoids removal unblocks the eustachian tube opening in the back of nose. Also adenoids is source of infection and inflammation for the eustachian tube and ear. Please take second opinion if you have any doubts.

Hello doctor...thanks alot for sharing this useful information. My question is after the removal of enlarged adenoids, is there any of enlargement again...

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, as long as allergies are kept under control. The chances of recurrence is under 5%

[@manishdhamat]

This is very beautifuly explain, Thanks you doctor. I have question that after removing edenoids is immunity will impaired? Also if we remove adenoids, life long it will create any issue?

My son had bronchitis with fever once in year from his birth in month of September or October only and for 7-14 days and after antibiotics no issues. This happened until age 7 In August 2023 at age 7 , he has started cold and cough frequently every 15-20 days with thick mucus, October 2023 ent doctor suggested pns and adenoids x ray. PNS normal but minimal adenoid enlargement. He has fever once in month from august 2023, nasal bleeding 5-7 drops every 15 days. Ear pain little for one day after paracetamol goes, sleeping well and no mouth breathing and no snoring. This all happened from august 2023 to December 2023 January 2024 symptoms less like no fever and no ear pain. Once in a month thick mucus for 2-3 days. We had vitamin d scan at level 7 as on 17 march 2024 We started vitamin d drops and symptoms good like no nose bleeds, no coughing, no ear pain only one time little thick mucus for two days only. We did x ray adenoids again yesterday and moderate adenoids, almost same as oct 2023. His age is 7 years and 7 months. We can wait for adenoids to shrink ? What you suggest? He eats well Nd sleeps 9 hours minimum at night, no mouth breathing and no snoring Snoring was in month august 23 to December 23 very little but from January 24 no snoring and after vitamin d started symptoms improved Moderate adenoids enlargement. What do you suggest from this patient history?

Hi Doc, thank you for the video. I took my son to the Doctor about three months ago. He gave my 2 year old some medicine and sent him home. Since the symptoms did not disappear, i took him to the same Doctor again who just gave him meds and stated he is too your to undego surgery go remove his tonsils. What would you recommend I do at this point?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, what are the symptoms of your child and what was the diagnosis?

[@redpreone9172]

@@SinusDoctor1 the Doctor says his tonsils are swollen. That's the only thing he said. And upon the second visit, I asked the Doctor what should I then do should the medication not work again, given the fact that he stated my child needs to at least be 5 years of age for an operation. He just responded by telling me I should be optimistic and not negative. My son is now 30 months old. It's difficult for me to have a peaceful sleep at night because I'm always looking out for him.

Dr Sinus, can this Adenoids disappear on it own naturally with medication and can you recommend medicines for the treatment? I hate surgery. Please advice. My boy is 7years old. Thanks.

Hi, adenoids can disappear on their own as long as allergies and recurrent colds are well managed. Kindly connect with a nearby ENT doctor for complete assessment and management.

[@divyasingh8455]

Hello Doctor, Thanks for this video. It's very informative. I am living in Germany. My daughter is 5 yrs old. She has the symptoms of Adenoiditis from last 8-9 months. We have checked with the doctor and they prescribed her a nasal spray. But, the situation remained same now doctor suggested the adenoidectomy. But, they never done any x-ray or CT- scan, they just checked through mouth and ear. She has middle-ear infection too which lead to a slight hearing loss. Doctor has suggested for draining the ear-fluid too. I have two questions: 1. Without any x-ray or CT-scan and without knowing the grade of Adenoiditis, is it good to go for surgery?? 2. What is the process of drainage of ear-fluid..?? Is it surgical too ? We will talk to her doctor again regarding this but, before that I really need your advice in this matter.

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi Your child’s doctor must have done an endoscopy which is equally as good as an Xray. We do not do CT scans for children unless absolutely necessary. Yes draining ear fluid is done surgically at the same time adenoidectomy is being done.

Today i just visited an ENT doc coz i just wanted to check her for the whistling sound in sleep and the doc told me about adenoids and tonsils. Doctor has suggested medicines for now and asked us to think about ithe surgery following how it goes for her. I regret not taking her to ent specialist earlier. Thanks a lot for this information. She is a very active child, but has less sleep, eating issue's. Do kids catch up on physical growth after this treatment? Please respond🙏 I am worried sick about her weight and height and overall health.
