Tonsils are lymphoid tissues located on both sides of the throat that protect the body against infections. The two palatine tonsils and two lingual tonsils capture microbes and strengthen the immune system. However, tonsils can sometimes become infected, swell, and cause discomfort.
Adenoids are lymphatic tissues located at the back of the nasal passage. They provide defense against infections, especially in children. Sometimes, adenoids grow excessively, causing sleep problems, difficulty breathing, or frequent infections.
Common Tonsil and Adenoid Problems
Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils caused by infection, resulting in swollen tonsils, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever. In some people, the tonsils become enlarged, leading to snoring and sleep apnea. Enlarged adenoids cause similar issues and are especially common in children. Patients with recurrent tonsillitis often require tonsillectomy.
Treatment Approach
Doctors develop treatment plans based on the severity and frequency of symptoms. Mild inflammations can be managed with medication, while surgical interventions like tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy are necessary in more serious cases. Specialists monitor patients regularly and manage the recovery process.

Who Can Receive Treatment?
Tonsil and adenoid problems are not limited to children; adults can also experience these issues. People with recurrent tonsillitis, snoring, or sleep apnea should seek specialist advice.
