Tonsils and Adenoids

What are Tonsils and Adenoids?

Tonsils and adenoids are part of the body’s immune system, located at the back of the throat and nasal cavity. They help protect against infections, especially during early childhood. However, when these tissues become frequently infected or enlarged, they can cause breathing issues, sleep disturbances, or chronic sore throat. ESENS ENT provides expert evaluation and treatment options, including medical management and safe surgical removal when necessary.

Common Conditions of Tonsils and Adenoids

These tissues often cause recurring problems in children and some adults, requiring specialized ENT care.

Tonsillitis

Infection of the tonsils, leading to sore throat, fever, and difficulty swallowing.

Enlarged Adenoids

Swollen adenoids may block airflow through the nose, causing snoring and breathing issues.

Peritonsillar Abscess

A pus-filled pocket behind the tonsil that causes severe throat pain and swelling.

Sleep Apnea from Hypertrophy

Enlarged tonsils/adenoids can cause airway blockage during sleep, leading to apnea and restlessness.
