Repeated ear infections? Check Adenoids
Adenoids are a type of tissue in the back of the nose that help fight infection. They are part of the lymphatic system, which helps the body get rid of germs. Adenoids are normally small, but they can sometimes become enlarged. This is more common in children than in adults. Parents who have history of allergy/asthma, their kids are at a higher risk of getting adenoids.
Here are some of the symptoms of enlarged adenoids in children:
Difficulty breathing through the nose, especially at night
Mouth breathing, which can lead to dry lips and a dry mouth
Snoring
Sleep apnea, which is when breathing stops and starts during sleep
Runny or stuffy nose
Frequent ear infections
Sinus infections
Facial pain
Earaches
Hearing problems
Changes in facial structure, such as a long, narrow face
If you think your child may have enlarged adenoids, it is important to see a doctor. They can diagnose the problem and recommend treatment. Treatment for enlarged adenoids may include medication or surgery to remove the adenoids.
