Detailed explanation-1: -Everyone is born with adenoids and they are biggest when children are around 3 to 5 years old. They start to shrink when children reach around 5 to 8 years of age. They are usually gone altogether by the time children become teenagers.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Can I Tell if My Child Needs His Adenoids Removed? If your child experiences recurrent nasal infections, difficulty breathing through the nose, obstructive sleep apnea, snoring or mouth breathing, a doctor may recommend a pediatric adenoidectomy, which is a surgery performed on children to remove their adenoids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. The provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops.
