An adenoidectomy, or adenoid removal, is surgery to remove your child’s adenoid glands. Adenoids are small lumps of tissue located behind your child’s nose in their upper airway. Like tonsils, adenoids are part of the body’s immune system. They fight germs you breathe in. While adenoids help protect your child from viruses and bacteria, these glands can become swollen. Infections and allergies can cause the swelling. Some children are just born with large adenoids. Enlarged adenoids may need to be removed if they’re partially blocking your child’s airway. The procedure is mostly for children between 1 and 7 years old. This is because many children’s adenoids get smaller after age 7. Less often, adults need this procedure, too.
