Question
What are adenoids?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy is a common disease in childhood, usually caused by recurrent attacks of acute rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, or influenza. After these infections, the adenoids may rapidly swell, leading to increased nasal congestion and affecting the nasal passage, which can in turn cause otolaryngological problems. Early detection and treatment of adenoid hypertrophy are crucial to prevent the deterioration of the disease.
