Due Date Calc. It was recommended to me by several doctors to have her adenoids removed. Thank you very much. This is a common concern of parents and I am glad you asked me this question.
Adenoids are tonsil-like glands located at the back of the nose.
We do not understand the exact function of adenoids. It may be related to some sort of protection from infection, but people can live normally without them. Children are born with adenoids, which are quite small. As a child grows, so do the adenoids, reaching their maximum size when the child is 10 to12 years old. From that point on, the adenoid tissue starts to shrink on its own.
