• Adenoid hypertrophy  (or enlarged adenoids) is
  the unusual enlargement of the adenoid tonsil.
  The inflammation is common in children,
  especially between age group 2-6 years. The
  enlargement of tissue can be either due to
  bacterial infection or physiological reason.

  located in the upper air way between the nose and
  back of the throat. Adenoids are a part of the
  immune system and help the human body fight
  against infection.
• Adenoids enlarge due to infection but normalize
  after the infection subsides. However, if they
  remain enlarged even after the infection has
  gone, it may create problems. One of the possible
  treatments is removing them from the body.
