How is Adenoidectomy Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of adenoid-related problems involves a thorough evaluation by an ENT specialist, which includes:

Medical history review: Checking for recurrent infections, breathing issues, and sleep disturbances.
Physical examination: Inspection of the throat, ears, and nose.
Nasal endoscopy: A thin, flexible tube with a light and camera to view the adenoids.
X-rays or imaging: To assess the size of adenoids and the extent of airway obstruction.
Hearing tests: In children with frequent ear infections to evaluate middle ear health.

Recovery Time

Most patients, especially children, recover within 7 to 10 days after adenoidectomy. Soreness in the throat, nasal congestion, or mild ear pain may occur for a few days but subsides with proper care. Complete recovery may take 2 weeks, during which rest, hydration, and following doctor’s advice are essential.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the Procedure:
The ENT specialist performs a full evaluation, including diagnostic tests and blood work. Instructions may include fasting before surgery, stopping certain medications, and avoiding infections prior to the operation.

During the Procedure:
Adenoidectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the technique, the surgeon removes the adenoids using curettage, electrocautery, or laser. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

After the Procedure:
Patients are observed for a few hours before discharge. Mild throat discomfort, nasal congestion, or snoring may persist temporarily. Painkillers and antibiotics are prescribed for recovery. Children can usually resume normal activities within a week.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First 2 Days: Mild sore throat, low-grade fever, or congestion. Rest is recommended.
3 to 5 Days: Pain decreases, and normal eating resumes gradually.
1 Week: Children return to school and normal routines.
2 Weeks: Complete healing of the throat and nasal passages.

Post-treatment care includes:

Drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated
Eating soft, cool foods to ease throat discomfort
Avoiding strenuous activities until cleared by the doctor
Maintaining good oral and nasal hygiene
Attending follow-up visits for progress checks
