WHAT ARE ADENOIDS?

 Adenoids are glands located just behind your nasal cavity. Part of your lymphatic and immune system. Adenoids have an important job for babies and young children. They help fight off germs until your child’s body develops another way to combat infections.

• Adenoids grow to their maximum size between ages 3 and 5.
• Adenoids start to shrink by age 7 or 8.
• By adulthood, they’re completely gone.

Adenoids are a patch of soft lymphoid tissue. The average size of a normal (non-enlarged) adenoid is 6.2 millimeters. The average size of an enlarged adenoid is 11.6 millimeters. Adenoids can become enlarged due to infection, allergies, or other irritants.
