Adenoiditis in a child

Adenoiditis refers to the overgrowth of the nasopharyngeal tonsil. Most adenoiditis is diagnosed in children. The danger of this disease is that, in addition to discomfort and respiratory failure, which significantly affect the quality of life of the baby, adenoids become a hotbed of infection.

Adenoiditis has three stages of development (degree):

• The first, in which labored breathing and discomfort are felt only during sleep;
• the second, in which discomfort is felt both during the day and at night, which is accompanied by snoring and breathing through the mouth;
• the third, in which the tissue of the adenoids expands so much that it is already impossible to breathe through the nose.

Adenoiditis in children can occur in both acute and chronic forms.
