    The adenoids are lymphatic tissue located in the nasopharynx behind the nose and above the uvula. In children, the adenoids help filter impurities from inhaled air and protect against common bacterial infections like Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. Enlarged adenoids can cause nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, and recurrent ear infections. Adenoids are diagnosed based on symptoms and examination of the nasopharynx. Treatment is usually adenoidectomy to remove the adenoids, with potential complications including bleeding, ear infections, and regrowth of residual tissue.
