    Adenoids are enlarged tonsils in the nasopharynx that commonly affect children between ages 3 to 7. Symptoms include nasal obstruction, discharge, sinusitis, voice changes, and ear problems. Recurrent upper respiratory infections, cold drinks, allergies, and physiological enlargement during childhood can contribute to adenoid growth. Physical examination or imaging can diagnose enlarged adenoids. Mild cases may be treated with decongestants or antihistamines, while antibiotics can control infections. Adenoidectomy is usually required for severe, persistent symptoms.
