Adenoids and Tonsils in India

Adenoids and tonsils are primary lymphoid organs in children responsible for immunity through antigen presentation. In common words, these organs/tissues are present in all children from birth and are part of the generation of the adequate immune response through the childhood years. Though tonsils are present in oropharynx or throat and can be seen or assessed through simple throat examination, adenoids are present in the nasopharynx or deep behind the nasal cavity (nose), and are hidden from ordinary examination and visualization.

    Adenoid and tonsil:

    • These lymphoid organs commonly get hypertrophied/enlarged from 2 to 6 years of age as a response to various upper respiratory infections and allergies.
    • Acute infection and enlargement of these organs (Acute tonsillitis/acute adenoiditis) are characterized by acute onset pain in the throat, fever, difficulty swallowing, nasal obstruction, nasal discharge or postnasal drip. Such infections or illnesses are managed by short term antibiotic courses with symptomatic drugs for allergy control, pain/fever control and observation.
    • Chronic tonsillitis/adenoiditis, however, is an infection or inflammation of these organs lasting by definition, more than 12 weeks, though commonly months and years altogether.
    • Chronic inflammation leads to long-standing hypertrophy/enlargement of these organs or recurrent/persistent inflammation thus causing a myriad of clinical issues:
    • Recurrent /persistent nasal obstruction (adenoid hypertrophy) which is more pronounced in children in lying down position or while sleeping, thus causing mouth breathing in sleep or while being awake as well in severe cases. Such long-standing nasal obstruction or mouth breathing in children can lead to issues such as nighttime bed-wetting, obesity, raised blood pressure, facial mis-growth and reduced exercise performance.
    • Persistent/ frequently recurrent nasal discharge, postnasal drip causing frequent throat clearing, chronic or long-standing sinusitis (inflammation of nose and sinuses) thus causing headaches.
    • Frequent or long-standing ear infections (Otitis media with or without effusion) leading to frequent earaches in children. Consequent middle ear effusion often leads to hearing loss in children which often goes undetected in early stages being confused by caregivers as a distraction or lack of attentiveness.
    • Chronic inflammation of tonsils leads to restricted space in pharynx, thus causing snoring, disturbed sleep, and difficulty in swallowing due to sheer size of enlarged tonsils restricting the movement of food through pharynx/throat.
    • The presence of long-standing infection in adenoids and tonsils leads to a year-long reservoir of bacterial infections due to biofilms leading to frequent nasal, sinus, throat and ear infections. Such infections often need multiple antibiotic courses and possible hospital admissions in the presence of refractory infections or complications.

    Surgery:

    Surgical removal of adenoids is termed as adenoidectomy whereas removal of tonsils is termed as tonsillectomy. Adenoidectomy is performed when adenoid enlargement causes persistent/long-standing nocturnal or daytime nasal obstruction and mouth breathing. It can be associated in children with persistent nasal discharge with or without symptoms of recurrent or chronic sinusitis. Tonsillectomy is performed for recurrent tonsillitis or severe enlargement of tonsillitis causing disordered sleep or swallowing.

    • As adenoids and tonsils are primary lymphoid organs, surgical removal of these at a very early age can have potential adverse effects on immunity and is a matter of research and debate. However, the presence of recurrent upper respiratory infections and issues of long-term nasal obstruction, disordered sleep and ear
    • infections in growing children in the era of widespread and concerning antibiotic resistance need to be discussed with pediatricians and ENT surgeons.
