Enlarged adenoids in children: signs to watch for
In short: adenoids are small pads of tissue at the back of the nose. They help young children fight infection, start shrinking from about age 5, and have mostly gone by the teenage years.

Adenoids are small pads of tissue at the back of the nose. They help young children fight infection, start shrinking from about age 5, and have mostly gone by the teenage years. Sometimes they swell and stay large.
Common signs
- breathing through the mouth, especially at night
- snoring and restless sleep
- a blocked or runny nose most of the time
- a nasal-sounding voice
- repeated ear infections, or not hearing well
Get help urgently if your child
- stops breathing for a few seconds in sleep, or gasps and chokes
- is struggling to breathe
- has a high fever with ear pain or discharge from the ear
See an ENT doctor if the signs last more than a few weeks, or poor sleep is affecting school or behaviour.
At HealVibe Healthcare
The consultation is with you and your child together. We ask about sleep, colds, ears, appetite and school. Homeopathy is offered alongside your child’s paediatrician or ENT doctor, not instead of them. Please bring any reports and a list of medicines.
