When should you take this seriously?
Surgery is usually recommended when the problem is clearly affecting health, breathing, hearing, sleep, infection control or daily comfort, and when non-surgical care is not enough.
Review sooner if you notice:
- Sleep pauses, gasping or restless sleep
- Mouth breathing affecting daily energy or school
- Repeated ear infections or hearing concerns
- Persistent blocked nose despite treatment
What is this surgery?
Adenoidectomy removes enlarged adenoid tissue from behind the nose. It is most commonly done in children when enlarged adenoids cause breathing, sleep or infection problems.
The ENT doctor may check the nose, throat, ears and sometimes advise endoscopy or imaging depending on the child.

Will snoring stop after adenoidectomy?
It may improve if adenoids are the main cause, but tonsils, weight, allergy and airway factors may also matter.
