What happens during adenoidectomy treatment?

For adenoiditis diagnosis, the ENT doctor will first collect your medical history and perform a physical examination to discern the cause, extent, and severity of the condition. During the physical examination, the doctor will look at the throat tissues using a speculum and palpate the lymph nodes present in the throat region to check for inflammation.


Once that is done, they will collect throat swabs for tissue culture and lab examination. In severe cases, they may also prescribe endoscopy and other imaging tests like CT scans, MRI, etc., to determine the full extent of the infection.

What can you expect after an adenoidectomy?

You will have a little pain and discomfort in your throat. Some discharge from the incision is okay immediately after the surgery. Most patients, especially kids, have a mild fever with an upset stomach and vomiting for 24-48 hours after the surgery. However, if these get too bad, you need to consult your surgeon immediately.


You (or your child) will experience a mild sore throat for 1 week and it may be difficult to eat or drink during this time, but you need to hydrate yourself properly as dehydration can delay recovery. Also, avoid spicy, crispy, or fried foods for the first couple of weeks as they can irritate the wound and delay recovery.


Immediately after the surgery, a throat massage using an ice pack will help alleviate the surgical swelling. You should avoid exercise and strenuous activities for at least 1-2 weeks, depending on your recovery rate; however, you may be able to return to work/school within 3-5 days of the surgery.

When is an adenoidectomy required?

Adenoidectomy is often required when the symptoms of adenoiditis, such as sleep apnea, throat pain, sore throat, etc., become too severe to be managed by medicines alone. They can even lead to complications and other health problems such as chronic sinusitis, ear infections, snoring, loud/mouth breathing, etc.

It is mostly done in children between the ages of 1 and 7, as the adenoids begin to shrink after that, but they may be performed in adults if their adenoids have not shrunk.
