Recurring Mouth Breathing or Snoring? It Could Be Enlarged Adenoids
What Are Adenoids?
Adenoids are a patch of lymphoid tissue located behind the nose and at the back of the throat (nasopharynx). Along with the tonsils, they form part of the body’s immune system and help protect children from infections by trapping germs entering through the nose and mouth.
Adenoids are largest between 3 and 7 years of age and usually begin to shrink as children grow older. By adolescence, they often become much smaller and are less important for immune function.
What Is Adenoid Enlargement?
Adenoid enlargement occurs when the adenoids become swollen, making it difficult for children to breathe normally through the nose. It is commonly caused by infections, allergies, or ongoing inflammation.
Viral Infections
Repeated viral infections can cause the adenoids to become enlarged.
Bacterial Infections
Recurring bacterial infections may lead to persistent adenoid swelling.
Allergic Rhinitis
Seasonal or environmental allergies can trigger chronic inflammation.
Frequent Colds
Repeated colds increase the risk of enlarged adenoids in children.
Air Pollution
Exposure to cigarette smoke or polluted air can irritate the adenoids.
Natural Enlargement
Some children naturally have larger adenoid tissue from birth.
Nasal Blockage
Enlarged adenoids often cause blocked nose and difficulty breathing.
Mouth Breathing
Children may breathe through the mouth, especially while sleeping.
