The adenoid, also known as the pharyngeal tonsil, is located at the posterior wall of the nasopharynx and is often associated with children’s health issues.
Adenoid hypertrophy may be caused by a child’s unresolved cold, leading to long-term facial and intellectual development issues, and potentially causing otitis media. In severe cases, surgical treatment or plasma therapy should be considered. In older children, adenoid hypertrophy may shrink naturally.
