What is meant by Adenoiditis?

Adenoids are small glands located on the roof of the nasopharynx, the area behind the nose. When these glands become swollen due to a bacterial or viral infection, the condition is known as adenoiditis. While it may seem minor, adenoiditis can cause serious health issues like breathing difficulties, snoring, sleep apnea, ear infections, and recurring sore throats, especially in children. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential.
