A very common condition in children is the size of the adenoid and frequent inflammation of the tonsils. Adenoid is a congenital tissue and is a lymphoid tissue that normally shrinks and disappears around the age of 12. However, in some people, this tissue may reach very advanced dimensions, making it difficult for the child to breathe through the nose, and may present with snoring, nocturnal respiratory arrest and excessive sweating. Again, the adenoid size can lead to sinusitis, fluid collection in the ear and deterioration of the palate and tooth structure in a long time. In these cases, the removal of adenoids is very important for the child. All the problems of the child are solved with this surgery, which is done through the mouth and is performed in a short time.

Tonsils are a lymphoid tissue that is important in the immune system of every human being. Therefore, it is very important for the patient not to take it unless necessary. However, it would be a correct approach to remove tonsils that have frequently had tonsillitis, have formed tonsil abscess, or cause severe apnea. Again, these problems can be solved with an oral surgery.

It should not be forgotten that following the food list to be given to the patient after both adenoid and tonsil surgeries is an important factor in reducing the risk of bleeding.
