Enlarged Adenoids
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Enlarged adenoids are the increase in size of the lymphatic tissue located at the back of the nose, which in some cases can obstruct the passage of air or affect hearing.
Common signs: Mouth breathing, snoring, persistent nasal congestion, a nasal voice, and recurrent ear infections, especially in childhood.
When to seek care? If a child breathes with difficulty, snores regularly, or has recurrent ear infections, a review is advisable.
Which specialist treats them? The otolaryngologist is the one who evaluates the size of the adenoids and their impact on breathing and hearing. Discussing these signs with a professional makes it possible to guide the appropriate follow-up.
