Question

I've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?

Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.
