Dr. Vivek Sasindran, Consultant ENT, Head and Neck Surgeon For Diagnosing Adenoid Hypertrophy typically, a diagnosis is made through nasal endoscopy or X-ray. Medical treatment involves the use of nasal sprays, usually steroid sprays. Children may also have associated allergic problems, in which case anti-allergic medications will be prescribed. After treatment, the child will be reassessed and the parents will be asked about their symptoms, including snoring and sleep disturbances. If there is no improvement and symptoms persist, surgical options will be considered, such as Adenoidectomy, a simple surgical procedure conducted under general anesthesia. The latest technique is Endoscopic Adenoidectomy, where the Adenoids can be directly seen through the nose and removed using tools such as Debriders, Shavers, or Coblaters. Bleeding is a potential complication, but it is controlled during the procedure. After surgery, the child will breathe freely through the nose, which can lead to a tone change, but not a voice change. Removing Adenoids or Tonsils will not lead to lesser immunity in children. Lymphoid tissue is only a small portion of our immune system and typically starts to regress by the age of seven. If Adenoids are not removed, they can cause facial feature changes, such as proclined teeth, requiring dental corrections and treatments in the future. It is better to undergo an ideal treatment before these changes occur to prevent these sequel problems associated with Adenoids.
