Adenoids play an important role in the body: they recognize microorganisms entering through the airways and contribute to the development of the immune system.
But this tissue is not always beneficial. According to Vaiva Mickeviฤienฤ, an otorhinolaryngologist at Santaros Clinics, enlarged adenoids can lead to long-term health problems.
If they are not treated in time, they may even affect a childโs speech and learning development.
