Adenoids, also known as nasopharyngeal tonsils, are a patch of tissue located at the back of the throat, behind the nose. They are part of the lymphatic system and play a role in immune function, particularly during childhood. Adenoids help trap bacteria and viruses that enter the body through the nose and mouth, helping to prevent infections. However, in some cases, the adenoids can become enlarged and cause problems with breathing, swallowing, and speaking. This condition is known as adenoid hypertrophy. Treatment options for adenoid hypertrophy may include medication or surgical removal of the adenoids. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment of adenoid-related issues.
