Roughly 10 percent of children suffer with adenoides that interfere with breathing freely through the nose. It is important for parents to learn more about this condition as it can lead to some serious consequences if not treated.

As air is breathed into the lungs adenoid tissue provides a moist cushion that helps to filter out impurities in the air. When the adenoids becomes abnormally large they can interfere with the ability to breathe normally through the nose.

This usually leads to the sufferer, usually children, breathing through their nose and consequently, the air breathed in reaches the throat an lungs in an unpurified condition. These usually quickly leads to the child suffering repeated colds and signs of nasal catarrh.

These symptoms will progresively get worse, and the child’s ability to breathe through the nose declines as there is more and more obstruction, unless the proper teatment is given. Children with adenoid problems are usually pale and may be narrow chested due to breathing difficulties and are often not as strong and active as healthy children.

Enlarged adenoids also can affect a child’s vioce, impair hearing and lead to the loss of sense of smell due to chronic nasal catarrh.

Therefore, if a child’s adenoids become large enough to cause these symptoms and problems, especially if the child is under 10 years of age, they should be surgically removed.

The operation to remove adenoids is a relatively simply and safe one, resulting in immediate relief and improvement in the child’s strength and overall health, and should not be delayed. Delaying the operation may cause malformation of the child’s jaws, palate, nose and face and endanger the child’s overall health.
