Hello,

I can understand your concern. Adenoids are lymphoid tissues that all fetuses have but as soon as the children grow, the tissue shrinks, decreases in size and disappears. If it persists like it has in your son, it causes problems like sleep apnea, breathing problems, snoring, breathing from mouth, teeth development abnormalities etc.

In such case, where adenoids are not disappeared on their own, a small surgical procedure is performed by ENT surgeon to remove them and manage all the associated problems.

Thus, I would recommend you to visit an ENT specialist and go for further investigations and discussing procedures for management regarding enlarged adenoids.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. I wish your son feels better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
