Adenoids tend to be removed during childhood as part of a tonsillectomy. Adenoids would be removed if they are blocking an airway, if the child is either having difficulty breathing through the nose or at night, or if the child has chronic ear infections.

What is adenotonsillitis?

"Adeno" refers to the adenoids, and "adenoidosis" is inflamation of the adenoids (either of two abnormally enlarged masses of lymphoid tissue at the back of the pharynx that usually obstruct the nasal and ear passages). So I believe "adenotonisillitis" would be tonsillitis with the adenoids infected, too, which can be very painful.


Can getting your tonsils removed cause you to snore?

Yes it can! - If you have your tonsils out and your adenoids and uvula remain, the new air flow pattern can cause "snoring". The adenoids and uvula could have been supported by the large tonsil structure that is no more and together with your enlarged airway can cause new oscillations. Consult your physician and ask for a referral to an "ENT" (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist that they would recommend.
