👉 Does your child require a Adenoidectomy?
👉 What is an adenoid?
👉 What causes enlarged adenoids?
👉 What are the Symptoms of enlarged adenoids?
👉 What happens if you avoid the advice of an adenoid surgery?
Chapters
0:00 Introduction
0:56 What are Adenoids?
1:43 What causes Adenoids enlargement?
3:00 What are the symptoms of Enlarged Adenoids?
5:28 Is Adenoidectomy necessary for your child?
6:50 Adenoids Grading
8:48 What will happen if you ignore your doctors advise for adenoidectomy?
You may be asking yourself, if you are not familiar, ""What is an adenoid?"".
The adenoid is a single mass of tissue located way in the back of the nose where the nose joins the throat.
The adenoid, also called the pharyngeal tonsil, is part of our immune system. The adenoid is like a germ processing center as it helps our bodies learn to recognize different kinds of germs so that we can fight them better. Sometimes these adenoids can become swollen and enlarged or chronically infected. When this happens, children can have breathing problems, ear infections, chronic nasal drainage, congestion, sinus infections or other complications, which can lead to snoring or more serious conditions such as sleep apnea. The most common reason that children have an Adenoidectomy is to help them breathe and sleep better.
If you have any questions or ideas for future videos please send me a message a let me know. Please make sure to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications. I will be making content to discuss all things that I treat including nose, sinus, ear and throat.

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. 🤍

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 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.

[@lamariposa911]

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.

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.

Hello Doctor. I am from Africa, Kenya. Your explanation has really explained all the questions I had about my 16 months old son who has struggled with colds, infections in both ears, snoring, stunted growth, dental problems... Always on medication... It has really drained him and myself since he has a twin who fortunately isn't affected by the adenoids but taking care of both of them has proven very difficult... after the video, I am now sure that he needs the surgery. The problem is that I have no medical insurance and currently separated from my husband and still unemployed. Any help to help my baby boy get the surgery will make me so happy and help the boy grow well. Any volunteer(s) and well wishers,, may God move your heart so that you can be a blessing to us 🙏😔

Hi, very happy that i could be of help. Please focus on allergy control and allergy medications and see how he improves.

[@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.

[@tapas0001]

Hi Abhishek, Hope your son is doing well. My son(4 years old now) was advised for adnoid and tonsil removal when he was 3. My wife and son went to India thinking that hot weather will solve the problem. But today ENT doctor in India also suggested to go to Adenoid and Tonsil removal. How is your son now?

[@AbhishekSingh-sr5uz]

⁠@@tapas0001Hi Tapas, my son is doing fine now. The true results of procedure are noticeable after 4-6 months. He no longer gets ear infection. He does occasionally get blocked nose (thats British weather for us and allergies) but not to the extent of needing otrivin or avamys. It is common for medical practitioners to advice of adenoidectomy and tonsilectomy done at the same time. Ours didnt ask for tonsils removal. Go for it if the Doctor has suggested.

[@saulymariparker1955]

Excellent explanation! Thank you so much. My 2 year old has swollen adenoids, but the ENT did not recommend removal. I'm keeping a close eye on him because nights are exhausting, but he doesn't get infections or has problems hearing. He is constantly congested. His ped prescribed zyrtec, so we're trying to see if it helps. ENT doc says they should eventually shrink. Let's see what happens!

Thank you for this very informative video. My son 6.5 yrs old has been suffering with recurrent cold and coughs since he was 4 and our pediatrician said its common. Very recently i noticed facial changes, reduced interest, sleep deprivation, snoring and other noticable changes. By Gods grace we went to ENT doctor and doc said he haa Grade 3 adenoid enlargement. I definitely would go for surgery; but just a concern about recovery time and if child can cope up the pain post surgery till recovery. Any parent whose child undergone surgery, please let me know how painful it would be post surgery and recovery time. It helps me a lot to prepare my child mentally for the surgery

@@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.

Thanks doctor. Please tell me, is it necessary to remove both adenoids and tonsils at the same time in case of 3rd grade adenoid blockage and kissing tonsils?

My three-year-old has enlarged adenoids and struggles to breathe at night. I am on a waiting list for surgery. I've started giving her elderberry syrup every day. I didn't notice much change, but I heard it helps. Then one night, she slept well, with no snoring and no issues. I thought back to what I had done differently that day.... Well, I added sea salts to her bath. The next day she was back to the same problem, not being able to breathe well, snoring etc... So I decided to test out the theory and added sea salts to the bath... And guess what... She slept like a baby again. I've been doing this daily because I've noticed it has helped. I also add eucalyptus essential oil (optional), but you don't need to; I'm just trying new things until she has her surgery.

Great Doctor .What numbing spray can one use after an Adenoidectomy.

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, we do not suggest any numbing sprays. We suggest allergy controlling medication.

Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, my son 6 y.o had adenoid surgery two months ago, we found a side effect that the upper oropharynx (near the nasopharynx) thickened, so that the naso-oropharyngeal opening became narrow, now he has heard wheezing and snoring at night or during the day while sleeping. What happened?Have you ever had a case of a patient like this? Thanks for your attention

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, No, I did not encounter such problem in my experience.

[@dudizulkifli5058]

Stenosis on nasopharynx, the rare case, do you kno how about the treatment? Are the stenosis will being normal formation naturally without any surgery?

My son's ENT doctor said he will not remove his adenoids completely, rather he will suck out to shrink it. What do you think doctor?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, adenoids have to be completely removed. Try to understand the rationality of the doctor. if still in doubt, take a second opinion.

[@ushab3066]

Very well explained.. my 5 year old daughter is scheduled for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at same time is it ok to do both at same time? Is it safe?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, Yes, definitely you can proceed with both.

[@redpreone9172]

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.

[@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.

[@hemajeur8550]

very good explained today our family doc think this about my 8 yr boy. is there any checking to ensure this?

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi an Xray nasopharynx is good investigation to check status of adenoids in children

[@yanli535]

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.

[@SinusDoctor1]

Hi, you can try medication first and see how your child is responding.

Hi @yanil535. Please kindly suggest help because my 3 year 8 month baby boy also grade 3 adenoids . Both pediatrician and ENT doctors told to use antibiotics and nasal spray for 1 month and asked to come after 1 month for further checkup. Please tell us how to overcome and to reduce adenoids especially night he is snoring a lot and bad breathing.
