Many parents know from their own experience and have repeatedly faced such a problem as adenoids in children. The aggravation of adenoid disease often occurs in the cold and damp season, when there is a risk of infectious diseases and ARVI.
Adenoids - a small-sized amygdala, which is located in the nasopharynx. Having not a large size, the adenoid does not interfere with breathing in any way and does not block the nasal passages.
Unlike tonsils, which are located in the throat and are easily accessible for routine examination, adenoids are harder to see even if the mouth is very wide open. Thus, only the doctor can examine the adenoids with special tools.
Adenoids in themselves are an important organ for both adults and children. As you know, children are more prone to infectious and viral diseases.
Adenoids in this case act as a barrier and take the whole impact on myself. Absorbing, like a sponge, all microbes, adenoids do not allow infection to penetrate further into the body. That is why inflammation of adenoids in children is a rather common phenomenon.
