Do Adenoids affect the oxygen in the brain ,how important it si to operate these adenoids? |
My daughter is 3 years old and is suffering for the past few months with bad cold and breathing problems specially at night ,if could help me Yes adenoids and enlarged tonsils can cause some oxygen deprivation especially at night. Yes it is an easy out patient procedure to have done. My 5yr old had it done a year ago. Need a Dr's reference though. Adenoids are in the upper throat and can affect the breathing if they are enlarged. A couple of my children I was told had enlarged adenoids but did not have any problems with their tonsils like a lot of children do. It did make them snore loud at night when they slept. Usually if a child needs their tonsils out the doctors will remove the adenoids too. I was also told that they shrink as children get older too, or maybe it is that the children grow into them (ha Ha). That last was a joke I really do not know. Hope this helps a little. The adenoids are fleshy tissue that produce white blood cells and trap bacteria, viruses, and other harmful agents. They do not affect the amount of oxygen to the brain, unless they are over-sized and blocking the intake of air (as they are at the back of the nose), but no more than any other obstruction. Usually removal is unnecessary, as they disappear around the age of 12. Adenoids (or pharyngeal tonsils, or nasopharyngeal tonsils) are a mass of lymphoid tissue situated at the very back of the nose, in the roof of the nasopharynx, where the nose blends into the mouth. My brother's stepdaughter had about the same problem and they actually removed her Adnoids. That really did help with her breathing problems. Ask you family doc about it! |
