Adenoids are a lymphoid fabric that is located behind the nose in the nasopharynk. Adenoids are needed only in childhood when they protect it from infections. By fourteen years, they will naturally decrease and disappear. Therefore, inflammation of adenoids and all the associated problems are considered to be children.
In children there are periods when physiological decrease in immunity occurs. This is just the age of senior preschoolers and younger students. Almost every second child has problems with adenoids. In often sick children due to infections, ORVI swells the mucosa of the nose, the adenoids are increasing, which begin to overlap the nose. And the child begins to breathe mouth. It turns out a vicious circle: the mouth is discovered due to the fact that adenoids are increased, and the child often sick due to the fact that the mouth is open. Roth breathing is a bad habit. Such children need to teach to breathe nose. And parents need to pay attention to this. Since the mouth is constantly open, the tone of the lallotype muscles is reduced. In addition to frequent diseases, an incorrect bite will develop, subjected to deformation of the skull bone, the posture will change and problems will appear with internal organs.

Gunay Ramazanova, Otolaryngologist:
- Lymphoid fabric itself can also be a focus of infection. That is, through the nose, the bacteria viruses fall on adenoids. Adenoids, in turn, begin to fight with them, and if the struggle is unequal, they begin to inflame, increase. Near the two sides there are auditory pipes, and due to increased adenoids there is a risk of medium otitis, which can turn into purulent and lead to hearing loss. In addition, because of adenoids in children in a dream, the respiratory stop occurs. That is, a child in a dream seems to be freezing. I suggest your patients to make a video shooting when the child is deeply sleeping. Just thirty seconds. It is necessary to shoot with sound and so that the lips are clearly visible. And if the mouth is recorded even by 1-2 millimeters, then this is already considered mixed breathing. You need to contact a specialist. Otherwise, the child will often be sick.
Also, watch your child when he is passionate about: draws, watching cartoons, collects the designer. Look, whether his lips are recorded. And if so, this also talks about the weakness of the oral muscles, which will lead to an increase in adenoids and chronic diseases. Need to remember: if we do not eat, do not drink and do not speak, then the mouth must be closed. And yet: up to ten years, the child does not understand the problems with hearing. If your son or daughter turns on the cartoons, you begin to ask for or as if you do not hear the parents, then you need to pay attention to this.
Now in modern medicine, an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems with adenoids is used. Orthodontics with ENT doctors together are prescribed treatment. Because the upper jaw and the hard palate is the bottom of the nose. All connected. And there is a great evidence base that the same exudative otitis can be cured by wearing a special simulator and exercises. Such an approach helps in 86 percent cases.
