You may be asking yourself, if you are not familiar, ""What is an adenoid?"".
The adenoid is a single mass of tissue located way in the back of the nose where the nose joins the throat.

The adenoid, also called the pharyngeal tonsil, is part of our immune system. The adenoid is like a germ processing center as it helps our bodies learn to recognize different kinds of germs so that we can fight them better. Sometimes these adenoids can become swollen and enlarged or chronically infected. When this happens, children can have breathing problems, ear infections, chronic nasal drainage, congestion, sinus infections or other complications, which can lead to snoring or more serious conditions such as sleep apnea. The most common reason that children have an Adenoidectomy is to help them breathe and sleep better.

If you have any questions or ideas for future videos please send me a message a let me know. Please make sure to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications. I will be making content to discuss all things that I treat including nose, sinus, ear and throat.

Really well explained, I feel much better after watching this, both my children had ent surgery this week (7 year old had adenoidactomy and turbinate reduction) (16 year old had turbinate reduction) my youngest had a reaction to the GA and has had an awful week. I started to wonder if it was all worth it for him. I feel very reassured, thank-you. I wish my eldest had been seen earlier. We had been referred to paediatricians previously but was never picked up. It was only when I noted adhd symptoms that I felt were linked to chronic sleep disturbances when he was 14 that I mentioned it to our brilliant family dentist. He referred us to the ENT Consultant.

My youngest has had respiratory issues all his life, later diagnosed with a dairy intolerance. I started to feel truly neurotic as every paediatric doctor told me he was fine and was just a mouth breather? As soon as I met the ENT consultant, he diagnosed the issue in both my boys in 5 minutes!!!

I’m annoyed with myself for not advocating more for my children. My eldest went from As to Ds and ENT doctor described him as dangerously sleep deprived through sleep apnea! I never sought psychiatric input as my instincts told me it was his sleep issues not adhd. I expect many children have been diagnosed with adhd without ent assessments or sleep studies to rule out a physical cause.

Thank-you for explaining the potential consequences of not going the surgeries. I needed to hear this today. I have spent thousands seeing paediatricians and this also made it challenging as we don’t have thousands to spend, I’m truly grateful to our family dentist for taking the time to ask questions and making the referral to ENT. My eldest has also had a brace fitted and some device to move his jaw. Both children snored, talked, shouted in their sleep, on occasion slept walked and have crowded teeth and dry lips. I pray the surgery makes life easier for my boys. 🙏 if you are on the fence, please talk it through with an ENT specialist as I feel my eldest school life and confidence could have been better supported with earlier intervention. 🤍

Wow. One of the most informative and detailed medical vids I’ve ever watched. Not gimmicky or complicated. Thank you!

[JesusisLord..]

My son is 6 years old now. At 18 months old, he had about 8 ear infections. Enough was enough! We got tubes and adenoids removed. Not a single ear infection since, and, he only gets sick about once or twice a year. Hardly a runny nose ever! I recommend it.

The best video ever to solidify my decision to get the procedure done on my 5 year old son. Never would I have linked my sons hyperactivity, grumpiness and dry lips to enlarged adenoids. I was very opposed to get his done since the ENT doctor that we have gave me no detailed information like the one I have found in this video. Had I known this I wouldn’t have lost so much time fighting the procedure. The elongated face jammed teeth, gummy smile and especially heart problems was the biggest shocker to me. Thank you for putting me at ease. I know 100 percent now that I made the correct choice to not ignore the doctor’s recommendation.

What a wonderfully clear and comprehensible explanation of adenoids! Excellent! I wish every doctor, particularly in clinics, would expound on medical issues in a similar manner, fostering a sense of comfort and confidence among patients. Sadly, this seems to be lacking in today's era, as the medical profession is increasingly adopting a business-oriented approach at an alarming rate.

A detailed video, my 10yr old boy has been advised this surgery but I'm still not able to makeup my mind. He has been having repeated episodes of dry cough in monsoon and winter. It hurts me seeing him like this, until recently i visited an ENT specialist who checked and explained what the root cause was. This video is an eye opener for me with all the issues he had faced from last 7yrs. Really appreciated.

Is adenoidectomy necessary?
Starts at 5:30

[AbhishekSingh-sruz]

What a brilliant explanation Doctor. My son had his Adenoidectomy today at Oxford University Hospital in the UK. For last 4 years ever since we arrived in the UK he kept developing ear infections, otitis media, blocked nose and severe allergic rhinitis. Doctors here gave him Avamys but asked us to monitor. Avamys could only provide temporary relief. So we had his Audiometry test done and XRay where it was found he had eustachian tube stenosis. Poor kid suffered a lot. So the Doctors finally asked us to go for Adenoidectomy. Fingers crossed hope he outgrows all the problems now.

[Mamimo]

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Your guidance has been invaluable as my 8-year-old son prepares for adenoidectomy next week. I was uncertain about proceeding with the surgery, but his severe nocturnal apnea and persistent noisy breathing in the mornings, coupled with recurrent cold and flu episodes despite medications and antibiotics, have led us to this decision. His doctor has advised adenoidectomy as the best solution. Please keep my little son in your thoughts for a smooth procedure and recovery.🙏🏻🙏🏻

just got my 5 year old seen and x-rayed due to noticeable mouth breathing at night with cough, during swimming and endurance activities. Also he seems tired and grumpy with lack of patience. after xray discovered 60-75% blockage. just ordered a sleep test, but looks like regardless we will have them removed. I learned about this from another parent at kiddie gym. Excellent video though this helped with our decisions

[saulymariparker]

Excellent explanation! Thank you so much. My 2 year old has swollen adenoids, but the ENT did not recommend removal. I'm keeping a close eye on him because nights are exhausting, but he doesn't get infections or has problems hearing. He is constantly congested. His ped prescribed zyrtec, so we're trying to see if it helps. ENT doc says they should eventually shrink. Let's see what happens!

[himanimukhi]

Very well explained by the Dr.

My child was getting through these symptoms ..and the sound sleep was affected.dr even said that this will affect his hearing
No relief with the spray..
Yesterday he underwent his surgery..n will be fine within 10 days dr said.

Parents need to visit the best ENT FOR SUCH REASON

[raadalhashimi]

One of the best lectures I have ever heard.

[panyglobal]

Thank you Doctor for that nice explanation.

My 17 months old son has adenoiditis and inflamed tonsils.
X-ray result showed a 90% nasal blockage, and my ENT doctor has booked him for surgery November 1st 2024.

I am really worried not only because I can't afford the surgery fee $550 but also because of his age.

In the main time, he has been placed on Fleming 457MG SYR, Aristobet-N nasal drop, Montral tab...just to manage his situation b4 the surgery date.

I really need help!!!

[benjaminchibatamoto]

My 5 year old boy is on the waiting list for surgery he has no allergies only one nose is blocked the airway passage he always have cold flues, snoring restless sleep
