What are adenoids?

 


There are four areas of tissue at the back of the throat that are concerned with the development of defences against infection in early infancy. These are the right and left tonsils, the base of the tongue and the adenoids.

The adenoids are located above the tonsils, at the back of the nose. They get larger between birth and four years of age and then become progressively smaller. By adulthood they have disappeared altogether.



Causes

 


What other conditions cause nasal blockage in children?

Swelling of the nasal lining (allergic rhinitis). This condition is associated with asthma and eczema in some children.

Deviated nasal septum. This is sometimes present at birth and in other cases is due to a blow to the nose.

A foreign body in the nose, such as a bead, or a toy brick that the child has pushed up their nostril.




What symptoms do adenoids cause?

 


Large adenoids cause nasal obstruction. The child breathes through their mouth and snores at night. In some cases large adenoids are associated with the development of fluid in the middle ear ('glue ear'). Sometimes, large tonsils and adenoids are associated with a condition called sleep apnoea syndrome in which the child stops breathing temporarily during sleep.



Risk Factor

 


There is no evidence that removing children's adenoids causes any problems. This is because they are necessary in babies, but have no function in older children.
