What is adenoid?
Adenoid is a defense tissue located in the upper part of the nasal cavity. Together with the tonsils, it is a segment of the lymphatic system. It collects foreign organisms and microbes and fights them, removing them from the body. The adenoid, which has an indented structure, works very actively, especially in childhood. They usually start to shrink after about 5 years of age. They disappear almost completely during the teenage years. Adenoid enlargement is a common problem in children.

Adenoid treatment
Inflamed adenoids are first treated with antibiotics. If there is no inflammation in the adenoid, your doctor may suggest waiting for a while, it is normal for the adenoid to enlarge to some extent, especially in children. Over time, the adenoid may naturally shrink.
Cleaning the nasal and nasal secretions by rinsing the nose and nasal passages with salt water, especially the mechanical removal of the sticky mucus on the adenoid by washing is beneficial and reduces nasal congestion in some patients.
With the use of cortisone nasal sprays, a reduction of up to 10% in adenoid size can occur; Even if it is small, this reduction may lead to a decrease in nasal congestion in some patients. But when the nasal spray is stopped, the adenoid continues to grow again.
