Tonsil and Adenoid Disorders

Tonsils and adenoids are part of the lymphatic system and play a role in the body's immune response to infections. Tonsil and adenoid disorders can include conditions such as tonsillitis, adenoiditis, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, recurrent infections, or obstructive sleep apnea due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids.

Symptoms may vary and can include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, snoring, nasal congestion, or breathing problems during sleep.

Treatment for tonsil and adenoid disorders depends on the specific condition and symptoms present. Options may include antibiotics for infections, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, or surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) or adenoids (adenoidectomy) in cases of recurrent infections or obstructive sleep apnea.



Seeking evaluation by an ear, nose, and throat specialist (ENT) is important to determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
