Adenoiditis significantly impacts one’s quality of life by the inflammation of the adenoids, especially when left untreated. The adenoids are small pads of tissue at the back of the throat and above the tonsils. They play a role in the immune system, but can unfortunately become infected themselves. The symptoms of adenoiditis can be uncomfortable and disruptive. However, effective treatments exist to manage this condition. Whether you’re seeking relief for yourself or a loved one, understanding the available treatments is a crucial step towards your treatment plan. At NJ ENT, our team of experienced Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists is committed to providing informative and personalized care for individuals dealing with adenoiditis.
Adenoiditis Causes
Infection is one of the main adenoiditis causes, but is not the only one. Anything that can cause the adenoids to inflame can be considered a cause of adenoiditis. Here are the most common causes:
– Bacterial or viral infections
– Exposure to irritants
– Immune system disorders
Adenoiditis Symptoms
Some of adenoiditis symptoms are similar to other issues. It is important to take note of all your symptoms so your doctor can accurately assess your condition to create the best treatment plan for you. Here are some symptoms of adenoiditis to take note of:
– Sore throat
– Difficulty breathing through the nose and mouth breathing
– Snoring
– Frequent infections
– Swollen glands
– Voice changes
Adenoiditis Treatment
Adenoiditis treatments often include prescriptions such as antibiotics and steroid nasal sprays. There are at-home solutions to manage symptoms while taking these prescriptions, such as salt water gargles and over-the-counter pain relievers. It is important to note that these at-home solutions are not adenoiditis treatments, they only help the pain associated with it. In severe cases, surgery to remove the adenoids may be required to fully treat adenoiditis. This is only used for cases that are resistant to all other treatment options.

Adenoiditis FAQs
Practicing good hygiene, avoiding contact with those who have respiratory infections, and avoiding exposure to allergens can help prevent adenoiditis.
Surgery is recommended for patients who experience frequent or severe adenoiditis that is resistant to more conservative treatments.
It is highly uncommon, but it is possible for adenoiditis to reoccur after surgery. This only occurs if adenoid tissue regrows with other additional factors. Normally, patients experience long-term relief from surgery.
