Really well explained, I feel much better after watching this, both my children had ent surgery this week (7 year old had adenoidactomy and turbinate reduction) (16 year old had turbinate reduction) my youngest had a reaction to the GA and has had an awful week. I started to wonder if it was all worth it for him. I feel very reassured, thank-you. I wish my eldest had been seen earlier. We had been referred to paediatricians previously but was never picked up. It was only when I noted adhd symptoms that I felt were linked to chronic sleep disturbances when he was 14 that I mentioned it to our brilliant family dentist. He referred us to the ENT Consultant. My youngest has had respiratory issues all his life, later diagnosed with a dairy intolerance. I started to feel truly neurotic as every paediatric doctor told me he was fine and was just a mouth breather? As soon as I met the ENT consultant, he diagnosed the issue in both my boys in 5 minutes!!! I’m annoyed with myself for not advocating more for my children. My eldest went from As to Ds and ENT doctor described him as dangerously sleep deprived through sleep apnea! I never sought psychiatric input as my instincts told me it was his sleep issues not adhd. I expect many children have been diagnosed with adhd without ent assessments or sleep studies to rule out a physical cause. Thank-you for explaining the potential consequences of not going the surgeries. I needed to hear this today. I have spent thousands seeing paediatricians and this also made it challenging as we don’t have thousands to spend, I’m truly grateful to our family dentist for taking the time to ask questions and making the referral to ENT. My eldest has also had a brace fitted and some device to move his jaw. Both children snored, talked, shouted in their sleep, on occasion slept walked and have crowded teeth and dry lips. I pray the surgery makes life easier for my boys. 🙏 if you are on the fence, please talk it through with an ENT specialist as I feel my eldest school life and confidence could have been better supported with earlier intervention. 🤍
Wow thank you for sharing this experience in detail. I will look further into believing the doctor this time because I had the same sentiments and my son has the same issues. God Bless you and yours.
Thanks for sharing your personal experience, my kid is also having same issues and we were visiting pediatricians for temporary relief . We came to know of adenoids when we got it checked from an ENT doc.
Thank you for sharing. My 7 year old just underwent an adenoidectomy, tonsillectomy and turbinate reduction today. I can relate to similar experiences as both my children also went through sleep disturbances and change in academics. My daughter underwent a T& A removal when she was about 14/15 and I wish I would have done it sooner. She is now 18.
My son is 6 years old now. At 18 months old, he had about 8 ear infections. Enough was enough! We got tubes and adenoids removed. Not a single ear infection since, and, he only gets sick about once or twice a year. Hardly a runny nose ever! I recommend it.
Thank you for sharing your experience, my child is 5 and since he was a baby he has been having a no stop running nose, breathing through his mouth, sometimes he stops breathing when he is sleeping. He has speech problem, one of hear drum doesn’t move properly . Our family doctor referred him to see a ENT doctor and today the doctor suggested to do the adenoids surgery, I signed the form but I was still having some doutes by hearing your experience, I feel more confident doing it. 🙏
What a wonderfully clear and comprehensible explanation of adenoids! Excellent! I wish every doctor, particularly in clinics, would expound on medical issues in a similar manner, fostering a sense of comfort and confidence among patients. Sadly, this seems to be lacking in today's era, as the medical profession is increasingly adopting a business-oriented approach at an alarming rate.
The best video ever to solidify my decision to get the procedure done on my 5 year old son. Never would I have linked my sons hyperactivity, grumpiness and dry lips to enlarged adenoids. I was very opposed to get his done since the ENT doctor that we have gave me no detailed information like the one I have found in this video. Had I known this I wouldn’t have lost so much time fighting the procedure. The elongated face jammed teeth, gummy smile and especially heart problems was the biggest shocker to me. Thank you for putting me at ease. I know 100 percent now that I made the correct choice to not ignore the doctor’s recommendation.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. Your guidance has been invaluable as my 8-year-old son prepares for adenoidectomy next week. I was uncertain about proceeding with the surgery, but his severe nocturnal apnea and persistent noisy breathing in the mornings, coupled with recurrent cold and flu episodes despite medications and antibiotics, have led us to this decision. His doctor has advised adenoidectomy as the best solution. Please keep my little son in your thoughts for a smooth procedure and recovery.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello again, On the 5th day after my son's adenoidectomy, he still experiences a stuffy nose, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sunken eyes. At night, he suffers from sleep apnea, noisy snoring, and continues to breathe through his mouth. Although he slept comfortably the first night post-surgery, he still feels throat pain. I am concerned that consuming ice cream, though recommended for treatment, may exacerbate his symptoms. Despite offering soft foods like mixed dishes and soup, he refuses to eat as he prefers solid foods like bread and pizza, which are currently restricted. Additionally, his respiratory rate ranges between 9 to 14 breaths per minute. When can I expect improvement in his nighttime breathing, and when can he resume consuming bread and other solid foods?
Hello Doctor. I am from Africa, Kenya. Your explanation has really explained all the questions I had about my 16 months old son who has struggled with colds, infections in both ears, snoring, stunted growth, dental problems... Always on medication... It has really drained him and myself since he has a twin who fortunately isn't affected by the adenoids but taking care of both of them has proven very difficult... after the video, I am now sure that he needs the surgery. The problem is that I have no medical insurance and currently separated from my husband and still unemployed. Any help to help my baby boy get the surgery will make me so happy and help the boy grow well. Any volunteer(s) and well wishers,, may God move your heart so that you can be a blessing to us 🙏😔
What a brilliant explanation Doctor. My son had his Adenoidectomy today at Oxford University Hospital in the UK. For last 4 years ever since we arrived in the UK he kept developing ear infections, otitis media, blocked nose and severe allergic rhinitis. Doctors here gave him Avamys but asked us to monitor. Avamys could only provide temporary relief. So we had his Audiometry test done and XRay where it was found he had eustachian tube stenosis. Poor kid suffered a lot. So the Doctors finally asked us to go for Adenoidectomy. Fingers crossed hope he outgrows all the problems now.
Excellent explanation! Thank you so much. My 2 year old has swollen adenoids, but the ENT did not recommend removal. I'm keeping a close eye on him because nights are exhausting, but he doesn't get infections or has problems hearing. He is constantly congested. His ped prescribed zyrtec, so we're trying to see if it helps. ENT doc says they should eventually shrink. Let's see what happens!
Very well explained by the Dr. My child was getting through these symptoms ..and the sound sleep was affected.dr even said that this will affect his hearing No relief with the spray.. Yesterday he underwent his surgery..n will be fine within 10 days dr said. Parents need to visit the best ENT FOR SUCH REASON
A detailed video, my 10yr old boy has been advised this surgery but I'm still not able to makeup my mind. He has been having repeated episodes of dry cough in monsoon and winter. It hurts me seeing him like this, until recently i visited an ENT specialist who checked and explained what the root cause was. This video is an eye opener for me with all the issues he had faced from last 7yrs. Really appreciated.
Well explained thank you so much with the information My 5 year old boy is on the waiting list for surgery he has no allergies only one nose is blocked the airway passage he always have cold flues,snoring restless sleep
just got my 5 year old seen and x-rayed due to noticeable mouth breathing at night with cough, during swimming and endurance activities. Also he seems tired and grumpy with lack of patience. after xray discovered 60-75% blockage. just ordered a sleep test, but looks like regardless we will have them removed. I learned about this from another parent at kiddie gym. Excellent video though this helped with our decisions
So very well explained sir. You covered many aspects. So truly said sir. My elder child had the same issue and we realised very late. We finally got him operated at the age of 13, but by now, his round cute face already changed to very elongated narrow and long face along with a little crowning of teeth. Is there any way to get his face to a better/rounder structure again?
Best explanation in internet for adenoids hypertrophy.... My baby is 2 yr old suffering adenoids hypertrophy but i don't know stage no symptoms of bleeding from nose or ear discharge but adenoids hypertrophy seen in xray report so can it be treated with medicine only or have to go for surgical . And also add what to eat or do and what not to eat and do for these patients ❤❤❤❤
Hi, no adenoids do not require surgery unless they turn troublesome and do not respond to medicines. Focus on allergy identification and avoidance, medication.
Hiii...warm regards, i saw this vedio post my daughter's adenoidectomy.....must say u have explained it very well....a great guidance for parents reluctant to go for adenoidectomy....
I had my adenoids and tonsils taken out 35 years ago. I snored very loudly as a child. I have had no problems with a weakened immune system. I only snore when I’m really congested.
Very well explained doctor, thank you. Can you also share what are the downsides of removing adenoids? Does it affect the child anyways in the future? You were saying adenoids are first line of defense, if it is removed, would it cause more allergies, cold/coughs in the future?
Thank you Doctor for that nice explanation. My 17 months old son has adenoiditis and inflamed tonsils. X-ray result showed a 90% nasal blockage, and my ENT doctor has booked him for surgery November 1st 2024. I am really worried not only because I can't afford the surgery fee $550 but also because of his age. In the main time, he has been placed on Fleming 457MG SYR, Aristobet-N nasal drop, Montral tab...just to manage his situation b4 the surgery date. I really need help!!!
Hi, Your doctor is the best judge of your childs condition. In case of any doubt, always seek a second opinion. I am sure medical management has been tried and doctor suggested surgery for your child only after he did not see improvement.
This is Soo informative. My 3.9 is really suffering, doc has recommended this procedure but have been sceptical about it..thank you for this information
Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, thank you for the wonderful explanation. My 3-year-old son has some symptoms you have mentioned, and two ENT doctors of two hospitals in China suggest my son should have his adenoids removed based on the following: 1. CT-scan and X-ray show his adenoids are in grade 3 (70% blockage). 2. He wakes up 1-3 times a night, but he’s still quite energetic in the day, no daytime fatigue or short attention span. 3. He sometimes breathes through his mouth, and sometimes snores, but not always. 4. He sometimes rubs his nose and sniffs. Can enlarged adenoids cause that or allergy? He is kinda allergic to dust. 5. Nothing wrong with his ears; no ear infection. My questions are 1. “Do you think his symptoms are severe enough to have a removal operation?”. 2. Or should we try medication first and see if there is any improvement, and then decide whether to have an operation later? I trust you and really need your advice. Thank you for your time.
Hi @yanil535. Please kindly suggest help because my 3 year 8 month baby boy also grade 3 adenoids . Both pediatrician and ENT doctors told to use antibiotics and nasal spray for 1 month and asked to come after 1 month for further checkup. Please tell us how to overcome and to reduce adenoids especially night he is snoring a lot and bad breathing.
Thank you for the informative video Dr. My daughter is 7 years old advised both surgeries. She has had her gall bladder removed at 2 years of age owing to a choledochal cyst surgery, This is scaring my wife to no end thinking that this will be a second surgery and removal of 2 more body parts. Is there a reason to worry here please. Will our daughter be weaker in handling this surgery or in general owing to missing gall bladder?
Hi, your child’s anesthesia doctor will assess her thoroughly and give surgery fitness only if it is safe or else advise you accordingly. Based on what you have mentioned, your child should be able to handle surgery comfortably. All the best.
Good explanation doctor. But, would appreciate if you can make a video explaining what is severity of symptoms, when we can wait and when should we go for the surgery. Because, surgery should not be done when it's not necessary, Also please make a video how to medical manage gor grade 1 and geade 2. It's with your explanation that I went for Fess and Septoplasty, and I'm thankful to you. You are a blessing.
Very well explained.. my 5 year old daughter is scheduled for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at same time is it ok to do both at same time? Is it safe?
Thank you for the information. My 6-year-old child will have surgery tomorrow. I was very nervous, but after watching your video, I am feeling relaxed. My sons have a cold, cough, sore throat, or sleeping issues. After taking x-rays, the doctor recommended surgery.
Explained so well and complete information to help so many parents take informed decision. Sir, what to expect post surgery? Are children going to be more vulnerable to infection and is it possible for adenoids to reoccur?
Thank you. Post adenoidectomy, child will have to use medicines and trace rest as advised. Children will not be susceptible to infections because of adenoidectomy. There is a 5-10% chance for adenoids recurrence. That is why it is necessary to keep allergies under control
As an adult who still as adenoids, I can relate to the majority of the symptoms described. My ENT (20-or-so years ago) had joked that I’m an adult, but my nose thinks I’m still a child, lol.
@@SinusDoctor1 that’s a relief. The way he was talking at the time, it seemed like an anomaly that they hadn’t shrunk away by that point. I wound up having deviated septum surgery instead of adenoid removal, which (combined with seasonal allergy medication) cleared 75% of my symptoms.
Curious as to why you've chosen not to remove your adenoids? I suspect my husband also still has adenoids and is the root of problems for him. He has a CPAP, but he has Apnatic episodes while standing and talking! My 8yo daughter just had her adenoids removed for a 2nd TIME (1st time was adenotonsilectomy @ 4yo) 35 mintues ago. One of them grew to completely block her nasal passage. The ENT said he's never done it a 3rd time, that it'd be 1 in a million. I was googling the chances of them regrowing again and her needing a 3rd surgery when I came across this video.
@@niki-matildajanegoodhartpe3465 good question… I found out I still had adenoids when I was approximately 30 years old or so. Up until that point and to this day, no doctor I’ve ever had has recommended or suggested I remove them. My ent just commented it was funny they were still there. More pressing was my severely deviated and overly thick septum, which he recommended surgical correction for and I had. That procedure alone was a huge life improvement for me.
My son is 5 year old doctor recommended surgery . Is it fine to delay this procedure ? He’s having breathing problem during night and now this is also happening in day time .
Thank you so much Dr. This truly filled me with peace, knowing i may be up for this procedure with my soon to be 3yr old child. Please how long does recovery take after the procedure?
Hello doctor...thanks alot for sharing this useful information. My question is after the removal of enlarged adenoids, is there any of enlargement again...
Very informative sir.. we consulted ent, doctor gave antibiotics n suggested surgery if repeated...along with antibiotics,does home remedies help to get ride of adinoids in children like gargling,garlic,honey, turmeric etc...
Hi, Certainly, home remedies like gargling, honey, turmeric, and garlic can help manage some symptoms of adenoid problems and boost immunity. However, they can't shrink the adenoids or cure adenoid hypertrophy. In cases where adenoid enlargement is causing significant symptoms such as snoring, breathing difficulties, recurrent ear or sinus infections, Surgery is recommended. Always discuss additional treatments with your child's doctor. They provide the best personalised advice.
Hi Doc, thank you for the video. I took my son to the Doctor about three months ago. He gave my 2 year old some medicine and sent him home. Since the symptoms did not disappear, i took him to the same Doctor again who just gave him meds and stated he is too your to undego surgery go remove his tonsils. What would you recommend I do at this point?
@@SinusDoctor1 the Doctor says his tonsils are swollen. That's the only thing he said. And upon the second visit, I asked the Doctor what should I then do should the medication not work again, given the fact that he stated my child needs to at least be 5 years of age for an operation. He just responded by telling me I should be optimistic and not negative. My son is now 30 months old. It's difficult for me to have a peaceful sleep at night because I'm always looking out for him.
My three-year-old has enlarged adenoids and struggles to breathe at night. I am on a waiting list for surgery. I've started giving her elderberry syrup every day. I didn't notice much change, but I heard it helps. Then one night, she slept well, with no snoring and no issues. I thought back to what I had done differently that day.... Well, I added sea salts to her bath. The next day she was back to the same problem, not being able to breathe well, snoring etc... So I decided to test out the theory and added sea salts to the bath... And guess what... She slept like a baby again. I've been doing this daily because I've noticed it has helped. I also add eucalyptus essential oil (optional), but you don't need to; I'm just trying new things until she has her surgery.
@@monikasaini123 she is great, back to normal. Surgery is booked for the end of the year but her breathing is back to normal. I really do believe it is because I bath her in salt water. I've noticed she now breaths from her nose whilst she sleeps.
Dr. Pls my 9 year old son has been diagnosed with adenoids but because my daughter had complications after she went through tonsillectomy, we are therefore scared of going through the surgery, is it possibel he will be fine after some time.
My 9 year daughter has all the symptoms you narrated. She is diagnosed pre-diabetic. I was suggested surgery after further analysis and since then she experienced infection twice in 2 months, soon after the treatment course. Her face is getting elongated and teeth jumbling is also seen. She also experiences hearing loss at times before or during infection. I was asked by a colleague to consult homeopathic doctor.
Hi, my patients are not happy with homeopathy treatment. You can try it for 2-3 months as you wish. If symptoms persist, then go ahead for surgery as per your doctors advice.
This has been very informative, you simplified medical terminology and put me at ease . The ENT has scheduled my 3year old for both adenoids and tonsils removal (grade 3) , I was too stressed but super confident after watching this video. Thank so much
We are based in Germany and after watching this video, we felt at ease. My boy is 2,8 years old and is just about to get the Adenoids removed. Thank you very much doctor.
Dear Doctor, thank you for explaining this very clearly; but I have one doubt. Is there any possibility post surgery the adenoid gland will reappear and the kid need to undergo surgery again; If this is so on what scenario it happens?
Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, my son 6 y.o had adenoid surgery two months ago, we found a side effect that the upper oropharynx (near the nasopharynx) thickened, so that the naso-oropharyngeal opening became narrow, now he has heard wheezing and snoring at night or during the day while sleeping. What happened?Have you ever had a case of a patient like this? Thanks for your attention
Stenosis on nasopharynx, the rare case, do you kno how about the treatment? Are the stenosis will being normal formation naturally without any surgery?
This is very beautifuly explain, Thanks you doctor. I have question that after removing edenoids is immunity will impaired? Also if we remove adenoids, life long it will create any issue?
Hi sir .my daughter have adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillitis.my daughter age 2 years +5 month .can procedd surgey is safe or not sir.he have mouth breath running nise alwasy .snoring heavey .pls kindly reply me sir.not gain weight also sir
Hi, if child is below 15 kgs of weight or below 3 years of age, we prefer to stage the procedure ie. remove adenoids and tonsils in two separate surgeries. it should not be a problem@@DivyaDivya-y8s
Hi Doctor thank you for explaining us in detail. My daughter 3.5years has frequent cold and some times fever from past 3-4 months, whenever we use medication she gets well but in some days again she is feeling sick and this is happening since she goes to school, so when recently went to a Ent specialist doctor found that my daughter has adenoids, so she suggested for a surgery so could you suggest us on this and if have to undergo then will she able to bear the pain and how many days will it takes to recover and any side effects?
Hi, surgery can be done if necessary. If you are in doubt, kindly seek second opinion. Adenoids surgery alone is not very painful, my patients tolerate it well.
My Daughter is now almost 6 year old and i have spent thousands referring her for growth issues, she is underweight and shortee for her age. Today i just visited an ENT doc coz i just wanted to check her for the whistling sound in sleep and the doc told me about adenoids and tonsils. Doctor has suggested medicines for now and asked us to think about ithe surgery following how it goes for her. I regret not taking her to ent specialist earlier. Thanks a lot for this information. She is a very active child, but has less sleep, eating issue's. Do kids catch up on physical growth after this treatment? Please respond🙏 I am worried sick about her weight and height and overall health.
Hi, there is no scientific evidence of children growing better after adenoids and tonsils treatment, but many of my patients parents share positive stories.
Dear doctor. My grandson 6 years old has adenoid and recommended for surgery. The doubt is once removed I am informed by sources that the voice may change or taste and smell may reduce. So I am scared. Please advise. Thank u .
Hi sir ..thank you for your information lectures. My daughter has adenoids since 3 yr and now is is five. Doctor advised surgery. Tonsillectomy and adenectomy causes any side effects like changes of voice quality? Please explain
Hi, voice change should be expected. It is not a side effect. She will be speaking with her natural voice once she completely recovers from surgery. The nasal tone of the voice will be restored after surgery.
Hi, i have seen in my experience, tonsils growing in size after adenoids removal. These children needed a repeat surgery at a later stage as enlarged tonsils were causing snoring recurrence.
@@SinusDoctor1 sir.. does it mean .. both adenoid and tonsil has to be removed? if we remove adenoid by age 5 , does it mean ..tonsil will grow occupy that empty space ?
Hello Doctor Thank you for such infomative video. My daughter is 7yrs old. We were supposed to take the flight and my daughter was having flu that time. During the flight landing she had severe ear pain. We consulted the ENT afterwards and got to know that her eardrum is retracted during the flight landing. ENT has advised putting gommets and also removal of adenoids and tonsils? *I have 2 concerns here.* 1) Is it possible to put gommets in the retracted eardrum ? 2) Does adenoids removal will open the eustachian tubes ?
Hi, grommets can be placed in a retracted ear drum. Adenoids removal unblocks the eustachian tube opening in the back of nose. Also adenoids is source of infection and inflammation for the eustachian tube and ear. Please take second opinion if you have any doubts.
Really well explained, I feel much better after watching this, both my children had ent surgery this week (7 year old had adenoidactomy and turbinate reduction) (16 year old had turbinate reduction) my youngest had a reaction to the GA and has had an awful week.

A detailed video, my 10yr old boy has been advised this surgery but I'm still not able to makeup my mind. He has been having repeated episodes of dry cough in monsoon and winter. It hurts me seeing him like this, until recently i visited an ENT specialist who checked and explained what the root cause was. This video is an eye opener for me with all the issues he had faced from last 7yrs. Really appreciated.
Glad i could be of help 🙏
Very true doctor.. my son is diagnosed with adenoids..
Hi, Thaks for sharing your experience 🙏🏼
Thank you so much doctor. Best detailed explanation ever.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Well explained. This is very informative. Thank you for taking the time to concisely and carefully explain this.
You're very welcome!
I am now well-informed. Thank you Dr
You are welcome 🙏🏼
Great explanation, this video answered all the questions I had. Thanks Dr.
Very useful doctor
My son 6 year old
Suffering with enlarged tonsils and adenoids
ENT Doctor suggested surgery
I was confused
Now clear
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad i could be of help.
Well explained thank you so much with the information
My 5 year old boy is on the waiting list for surgery he has no allergies only one nose is blocked the airway passage he always have cold flues,snoring restless sleep
Thank you for your appreciation. Your doctors will do what is best for him.
just got my 5 year old seen and x-rayed due to noticeable mouth breathing at night with cough, during swimming and endurance activities. Also he seems tired and grumpy with lack of patience. after xray discovered 60-75% blockage. just ordered a sleep test, but looks like regardless we will have them removed. I learned about this from another parent at kiddie gym. Excellent video though this helped with our decisions
Glad i could be of help 🙏🏼
So very well explained sir. You covered many aspects. So truly said sir. My elder child had the same issue and we realised very late. We finally got him operated at the age of 13, but by now, his round cute face already changed to very elongated narrow and long face along with a little crowning of teeth. Is there any way to get his face to a better/rounder structure again?
Thanks for sharing. You can meet a dental doctor and check if the teeth arrangement can be sorted but the rest cannot be changed easily.
Great Doctor .What numbing spray can one use after an Adenoidectomy.
Hi, we do not suggest any numbing sprays. We suggest allergy controlling medication.
Very very informative, to the point explaination in language that lay man can understand
Thank you 🙏
Best explanation in internet for adenoids hypertrophy....
My baby is 2 yr old suffering adenoids hypertrophy but i don't know stage no symptoms of bleeding from nose or ear discharge but adenoids hypertrophy seen in xray report so can it be treated with medicine only or have to go for surgical . And also add what to eat or do and what not to eat and do for these patients
❤❤❤❤
Hi, no adenoids do not require surgery unless they turn troublesome and do not respond to medicines. Focus on allergy identification and avoidance, medication.
Hiii...warm regards, i saw this vedio post my daughter's adenoidectomy.....must say u have explained it very well....a great guidance for parents reluctant to go for adenoidectomy....
Thanks a lot 🙂
I had my adenoids and tonsils taken out 35 years ago. I snored very loudly as a child. I have had no problems with a weakened immune system. I only snore when I’m really congested.
Hi, you are right. there is a miconception that adenoids removal cause weakening of immune system.
Very well explained doctor, thank you. Can you also share what are the downsides of removing adenoids? Does it affect the child anyways in the future? You were saying adenoids are first line of defense, if it is removed, would it cause more allergies, cold/coughs in the future?
Hi, no, adenoids functions are carried on by many similar functioning structures in our body
@@SinusDoctor1 l. .. .
Thank you doctor. We'll understood. Got the clarity in taking the decision about surgery for my child.🙏
Hi, glad the video was helpful.
Thank you Doctor for that nice explanation.
My 17 months old son has adenoiditis and inflamed tonsils.
X-ray result showed a 90% nasal blockage, and my ENT doctor has booked him for surgery November 1st 2024.
I am really worried not only because I can't afford the surgery fee $550 but also because of his age.
In the main time, he has been placed on Fleming 457MG SYR, Aristobet-N nasal drop, Montral tab...just to manage his situation b4 the surgery date.
I really need help!!!
Hi, Your doctor is the best judge of your childs condition. In case of any doubt, always seek a second opinion. I am sure medical management has been tried and doctor suggested surgery for your child only after he did not see improvement.
Thank you very much sir, my daughter has swollen adenoids, i can now decide better
You are most welcome
Very well explained..Thank you Doctor. My baby is scheduled for surgery next week
Hi, wish you and your child the best of health and recovery.
Thank you doctor my boy just finished the surgery now
Hi, wish him a very speedy recovery.
Hi. How is your child now? Is he okay after the surgery?
This is Soo informative. My 3.9 is really suffering, doc has recommended this procedure but have been sceptical about it..thank you for this information
Thank you for explaining so well. It helps parents , what is the exactly problem their kids facing.
My son is suffering from adenoid. Still reports are pending. Will send you reports once, we done with it.
Thank you for explaining so well 🙏
Insightful information
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, thank you for the wonderful explanation. My 3-year-old son has some symptoms you have mentioned, and two ENT doctors of two hospitals in China suggest my son should have his adenoids removed based on the following:
1. CT-scan and X-ray show his adenoids are in grade 3 (70% blockage).
2. He wakes up 1-3 times a night, but he’s still quite energetic in the day, no daytime fatigue or short attention span.
3. He sometimes breathes through his mouth, and sometimes snores, but not always.
4. He sometimes rubs his nose and sniffs. Can enlarged adenoids cause that or allergy? He is kinda allergic to dust.
5. Nothing wrong with his ears; no ear infection.
My questions are 1. “Do you think his symptoms are severe enough to have a removal operation?”. 2. Or should we try medication first and see if there is any improvement, and then decide whether to have an operation later?
I trust you and really need your advice. Thank you for your time.
Hi, you can try medication first and see how your child is responding.
Your child probably have asthma
Hi @yanil535. Please kindly suggest help because my 3 year 8 month baby boy also grade 3 adenoids . Both pediatrician and ENT doctors told to use antibiotics and nasal spray for 1 month and asked to come after 1 month for further checkup. Please tell us how to overcome and to reduce adenoids especially night he is snoring a lot and bad breathing.
@@SinusDoctor1 Thank you for your advice. Gratitude.
@@dinakarreddy3711 same my doc told to come after one month but baby is finding difficulty in breathing. 3.10yrs baby boy.
Thank you for the informative video Dr.
My daughter is 7 years old advised both surgeries.
She has had her gall bladder removed at 2 years of age owing to a choledochal cyst surgery,
This is scaring my wife to no end thinking that this will be a second surgery and removal of 2 more body parts. Is there a reason to worry here please. Will our daughter be weaker in handling this surgery or in general owing to missing gall bladder?
Hi, your child’s anesthesia doctor will assess her thoroughly and give surgery fitness only if it is safe or else advise you accordingly. Based on what you have mentioned, your child should be able to handle surgery comfortably. All the best.
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation doctor
My pleasure
Good explanation doctor. But, would appreciate if you can make a video explaining what is severity of symptoms, when we can wait and when should we go for the surgery. Because, surgery should not be done when it's not necessary,
Also please make a video how to medical manage gor grade 1 and geade 2.
It's with your explanation that I went for Fess and Septoplasty, and I'm thankful to you.
You are a blessing.
Very well explained.. my 5 year old daughter is scheduled for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy at same time is it ok to do both at same time? Is it safe?
Hi, Yes, definitely you can proceed with both.
Thank you for the information. My 6-year-old child will have surgery tomorrow. I was very nervous, but after watching your video, I am feeling relaxed. My sons have a cold, cough, sore throat, or sleeping issues. After taking x-rays, the doctor recommended surgery.
Thank you. Wish your son a very speedy recovery.
Pls how did the surgery go?
Thank you Doctor,for well explaining this condition
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very well explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Explained so well and complete information to help so many parents take informed decision. Sir, what to expect post surgery? Are children going to be more vulnerable to infection and is it possible for adenoids to reoccur?
Thank you. Post adenoidectomy, child will have to use medicines and trace rest as advised. Children will not be susceptible to infections because of adenoidectomy. There is a 5-10% chance for adenoids recurrence. That is why it is necessary to keep allergies under control
As an adult who still as adenoids, I can relate to the majority of the symptoms described.
My ENT (20-or-so years ago) had joked that I’m an adult, but my nose thinks I’m still a child, lol.
Hi, adenoids in adults is not an infrequent finding for us doctors.
@@SinusDoctor1 that’s a relief. The way he was talking at the time, it seemed like an anomaly that they hadn’t shrunk away by that point.
I wound up having deviated septum surgery instead of adenoid removal, which (combined with seasonal allergy medication) cleared 75% of my symptoms.
Glad to know. Take care
Curious as to why you've chosen not to remove your adenoids? I suspect my husband also still has adenoids and is the root of problems for him. He has a CPAP, but he has Apnatic episodes while standing and talking!
My 8yo daughter just had her adenoids removed for a 2nd TIME (1st time was adenotonsilectomy @ 4yo) 35 mintues ago. One of them grew to completely block her nasal passage. The ENT said he's never done it a 3rd time, that it'd be 1 in a million. I was googling the chances of them regrowing again and her needing a 3rd surgery when I came across this video.
@@niki-matildajanegoodhartpe3465 good question… I found out I still had adenoids when I was approximately 30 years old or so. Up until that point and to this day, no doctor I’ve ever had has recommended or suggested I remove them. My ent just commented it was funny they were still there.
More pressing was my severely deviated and overly thick septum, which he recommended surgical correction for and I had. That procedure alone was a huge life improvement for me.
Thanks Doctor for your deep and wonderful explanations
My pleasure
My son is 5 year old doctor recommended surgery . Is it fine to delay this procedure ? He’s having breathing problem during night and now this is also happening in day time .
Hi, if medications and allergy control does not help, surgery must be done.
Thank you so much Dr. This truly filled me with peace, knowing i may be up for this procedure with my soon to be 3yr old child. Please how long does recovery take after the procedure?
Hi, If your child is only undergoing adenoidectomy, he/she should recover within a week
Your child is how
Surgery is done after surgery how he filll
Hello doctor...thanks alot for sharing this useful information. My question is after the removal of enlarged adenoids, is there any of enlargement again...
Hi, as long as allergies are kept under control. The chances of recurrence is under 5%
Very very helpful information
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative,Sir one Video on after adenoidectomy recovery and precautions
Hi, Sure will make it, thanks for your suggestion.
Thank you Dr. I experience the same with my son, this is very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative sir.. we consulted ent, doctor gave antibiotics n suggested surgery if repeated...along with antibiotics,does home remedies help to get ride of adinoids in children like gargling,garlic,honey, turmeric etc...
Hi, Certainly, home remedies like gargling, honey, turmeric, and garlic can help manage some symptoms of adenoid problems and boost immunity. However, they can't shrink the adenoids or cure adenoid hypertrophy. In cases where adenoid enlargement is causing significant symptoms such as snoring, breathing difficulties, recurrent ear or sinus infections, Surgery is recommended. Always discuss additional treatments with your child's doctor. They provide the best personalised advice.
very good explained
today our family doc think this about my 8 yr boy.
is there any checking to ensure this?
Hi
an Xray nasopharynx is good investigation to check status of adenoids in children
@@SinusDoctor1 tq
Thank you for your information doctor.
Great break down 🙌🏼 . Very much needed as I’m studying 📚 medical science . Thank you !
Hi, Thank you for your comment. Glad i could be of help.
Hi Doc, thank you for the video. I took my son to the Doctor about three months ago. He gave my 2 year old some medicine and sent him home. Since the symptoms did not disappear, i took him to the same Doctor again who just gave him meds and stated he is too your to undego surgery go remove his tonsils. What would you recommend I do at this point?
Hi, what are the symptoms of your child and what was the diagnosis?
@@SinusDoctor1 the Doctor says his tonsils are swollen. That's the only thing he said. And upon the second visit, I asked the Doctor what should I then do should the medication not work again, given the fact that he stated my child needs to at least be 5 years of age for an operation. He just responded by telling me I should be optimistic and not negative. My son is now 30 months old. It's difficult for me to have a peaceful sleep at night because I'm always looking out for him.
Thanks for sharing,
My three-year-old has enlarged adenoids and struggles to breathe at night. I am on a waiting list for surgery. I've started giving her elderberry syrup every day. I didn't notice much change, but I heard it helps. Then one night, she slept well, with no snoring and no issues. I thought back to what I had done differently that day.... Well, I added sea salts to her bath. The next day she was back to the same problem, not being able to breathe well, snoring etc... So I decided to test out the theory and added sea salts to the bath... And guess what... She slept like a baby again. I've been doing this daily because I've noticed it has helped. I also add eucalyptus essential oil (optional), but you don't need to; I'm just trying new things until she has her surgery.
Glad to hear your baby is doing well. As long is she sleeping soundly without mouth breathing/ snoring/ ear issues, you can try whatever works for her
How's your daughter now ? My kids have same problem.
Toh have u taken surgery?
How she is doing
@@monikasaini123 she is great, back to normal. Surgery is booked for the end of the year but her breathing is back to normal. I really do believe it is because I bath her in salt water. I've noticed she now breaths from her nose whilst she sleeps.
Hello Doc, is it adviceable to allow a 5 months old undergo the surgery?
Thank you sir. It was very useful because the doctor suggested Sergey to my son...
🙏
Dr. Pls my 9 year old son has been diagnosed with adenoids but because my daughter had complications after she went through tonsillectomy, we are therefore scared of going through the surgery, is it possibel he will be fine after some time.
Hi, I understand your concern. Please try medical management, but if it is not giving relief, you should not delay adenoids surgery.
My 9 months old is having surgery in 3 months at his first birthday. I hope he will finally breath better like a normal child.
Wish him all the very best
Wish him all the best
Wish him all the best
Pls update how is she
Thank you doctor for wonderful video, I will get it done for my daughter
Thank you 🙏🏼
My 9 year daughter has all the symptoms you narrated.
She is diagnosed pre-diabetic.
I was suggested surgery after further analysis and since then she experienced infection twice in 2 months, soon after the treatment course.
Her face is getting elongated and teeth jumbling is also seen.
She also experiences hearing loss at times before or during infection.
I was asked by a colleague to consult homeopathic doctor.
Hi, my patients are not happy with homeopathy treatment. You can try it for 2-3 months as you wish. If symptoms persist, then go ahead for surgery as per your doctors advice.
Thanku so much sir, It was complete detail on my child's ilness
Hi, thank you, glad i could be of help
Thanks doc and my son has the same problem
This has been very informative, you simplified medical terminology and put me at ease . The ENT has scheduled my 3year old for both adenoids and tonsils removal (grade 3) , I was too stressed but super confident after watching this video. Thank so much
Thank you for your kind words
We are based in Germany and after watching this video, we felt at ease. My boy is 2,8 years old and is just about to get the Adenoids removed. Thank you very much doctor.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad I could help you
I have a 3 year, 9 months who get tonsilitis every second month and has his fever shoot up, im scared to have him operated on
Hi sir whts ur kid present condition?
Thank you very much indeed
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
Thank you Doctor.
Most welcome!
My son's ENT doctor said he will not remove his adenoids completely, rather he will suck out to shrink it. What do you think doctor?
Dear Doctor, thank you for explaining this very clearly; but I have one doubt. Is there any possibility post surgery the adenoid gland will reappear and the kid need to undergo surgery again; If this is so on what scenario it happens?
Hi, Thank you. Regrowth of adenoids occurs in 5-10% of post-operative cases, usually due to poor allergy management.
Hello Dr. Chaitanya Rao, my son 6 y.o had adenoid surgery two months ago, we found a side effect that the upper oropharynx (near the nasopharynx) thickened, so that the naso-oropharyngeal opening became narrow, now he has heard wheezing and snoring at night or during the day while sleeping. What happened?Have you ever had a case of a patient like this? Thanks for your attention
Hi, No, I did not encounter such problem in my experience.
Stenosis on nasopharynx, the rare case, do you kno how about the treatment? Are the stenosis will being normal formation naturally without any surgery?
Please reply.. Is adenoid surgery affect later in life??
Hi, adenoids surgery when done for right candidates will only provide benefit.
This is very beautifuly explain, Thanks you doctor. I have question that after removing edenoids is immunity will impaired?
Also if we remove adenoids, life long it will create any issue?
Hi, no, your child’s immunity will not be impaired.
Very informative,
Very informative video dr explained so well
Thank you 🙏
Hi sir .my daughter have adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillitis.my daughter age 2 years +5 month .can procedd surgey is safe or not sir.he have mouth breath running nise alwasy .snoring heavey .pls kindly reply me sir.not gain weight also sir
Hi, if child is below 15 kgs of weight or below 3 years of age, we prefer to stage the procedure ie. remove adenoids and tonsils in two separate surgeries. it should not be a problem@@DivyaDivya-y8s
Great Explanation Dr. I have a question, Will hyperactivity/ behavioural issues resolve or improve after surgery?
Hi, if hyperactivity is because of sleep disturbances, good recovery should be expected after adenoidectomy in children with enlarged adenoids
@@SinusDoctor1 is there any complications of performing adenoidectomy tonsillectomy in kids below 4 years of age?
Listen at 1.25
Hi Doctor. Is Adenoids related with chronic sinusitis?
Hi, yes, adenoids can cause sinusitis.
Hi Doctor thank you for explaining us in detail. My daughter 3.5years has frequent cold and some times fever from past 3-4 months, whenever we use medication she gets well but in some days again she is feeling sick and this is happening since she goes to school, so when recently went to a Ent specialist doctor found that my daughter has adenoids, so she suggested for a surgery so could you suggest us on this and if have to undergo then will she able to bear the pain and how many days will it takes to recover and any side effects?
Hi, surgery can be done if necessary. If you are in doubt, kindly seek second opinion. Adenoids surgery alone is not very painful, my patients tolerate it well.
@@SinusDoctor1 thanks for the clarification on this doctor
Thanks a lot Sir! All doubts are came…
Always welcome
Dear sir,your explanation is really helpful
Thanks and welcome
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Thanks a lot for the clear explanation 🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏼
Very gud information ,plz tell in telugu
Hi, Sure, tappakunda.
Can someone tell me if it's hurt or not?or do i have to remove my tonsils for adenoid?i am really scared because i have Remove that both😅😟
Hi, Sorry, i do not understand your question.
My Daughter is now almost 6 year old and i have spent thousands referring her for growth issues, she is underweight and shortee for her age. Today i just visited an ENT doc coz i just wanted to check her for the whistling sound in sleep and the doc told me about adenoids and tonsils. Doctor has suggested medicines for now and asked us to think about ithe surgery following how it goes for her. I regret not taking her to ent specialist earlier. Thanks a lot for this information. She is a very active child, but has less sleep, eating issue's. Do kids catch up on physical growth after this treatment? Please respond🙏 I am worried sick about her weight and height and overall health.
Hi, there is no scientific evidence of children growing better after adenoids and tonsils treatment, but many of my patients parents share positive stories.
Dear doctor. My grandson 6 years old has adenoid and recommended for surgery. The doubt is once removed I am informed by sources that the voice may change or taste and smell may reduce. So I am scared. Please advise. Thank u .
Hi, no such changes will occur.
Hi sir ..thank you for your information lectures. My daughter has adenoids since 3 yr and now is is five. Doctor advised surgery. Tonsillectomy and adenectomy causes any side effects like changes of voice quality? Please explain
Hi, voice change should be expected. It is not a side effect. She will be speaking with her natural voice once she completely recovers from surgery. The nasal tone of the voice will be restored after surgery.
Thanks a lot sir your video helped me a lot to take a decision for my kid
Glad i could be of help
one doctor recommended a surgery another medical treatment (in one clinic). Which doctor's advice to choose ...
Hi, you can.try medicines and check for improvement in symptoms over a months time, if improvement is drastic, can wait or else proceed for surgery.
Thank you Doc .kindly please advise if removal of adenoids alone without tonsils being removed whether it can cause tonsils problems later in life
Hi, i have seen in my experience, tonsils growing in size after adenoids removal. These children needed a repeat surgery at a later stage as enlarged tonsils were causing snoring recurrence.
@@SinusDoctor1 sir.. does it mean .. both adenoid and tonsil has to be removed? if we remove adenoid by age 5 , does it mean ..tonsil will grow occupy that empty space ?
Well explained
My son is due to remove them on 27 of march I'm so scared but your advice did help thanks doctor
Glad my video could be helpful 🙏🏼
Beautifully explained
Thank you so much 🙂
Hello Doctor
Thank you for such infomative video.
My daughter is 7yrs old.
We were supposed to take the flight and my daughter was having flu that time.
During the flight landing she had severe ear pain.
We consulted the ENT afterwards and got to know that her eardrum is retracted during the flight landing.
ENT has advised putting gommets and also removal of adenoids and tonsils?
*I have 2 concerns here.*
1) Is it possible to put gommets in the retracted eardrum ?
2) Does adenoids removal will open the eustachian tubes ?
Hi, grommets can be placed in a retracted ear drum. Adenoids removal unblocks the eustachian tube opening in the back of nose. Also adenoids is source of infection and inflammation for the eustachian tube and ear. Please take second opinion if you have any doubts.
Thank you for your reply Doctor 🙏
🙏🏼
Hai mam now your child ear drum is decover
Thank a lot sir. Very nice information
So nice of you
