Treating adenoid hypertrophy is about more than just surgery; it is about restoring the fundamental functions of breathing and hearing. At LIV Hospital, we adopt a conservative but decisive approach. We understand that surgery on a child is a major family event. Therefore, we ensure that every non-surgical avenue is explored first. However, when obstruction affects sleep or hearing, we move quickly to provide relief.
Our Ear, Nose Throat (ENT) Department specializes in pediatric airway management. We utilize the latest “cold” surgical techniques, which reduce pain and bleeding compared to traditional methods. Whether managing infection with medication or performing a precision adenoidectomy, our goal is to improve your child’s quality of life with minimal disruption.
Before booking surgery, we often attempt to shrink the tissue medically, especially if the cause is inflammatory or allergic.
Modern adenoidectomy has moved away from “blind” scraping. LIV Hospital utilizes advanced technologies that are gentler on tissues.
This is the preferred method for many of our surgeons.
For precise removal, we use a camera.
When medical therapy fails, surgical removal is the curative solution. This is often combined with other procedures.
Recovery involves ensuring the airway heals open and clear.
Adenoidectomy recovery is generally smoother than tonsillectomy recovery.
Once removed, adenoids rarely grow back, but it can happen in very young children.
We provide a child-centric surgical experience.

The first line of treatment is often medical management using nasal steroid sprays or antibiotics to reduce inflammation. If symptoms persist or cause sleep apnea/hearing loss, surgical removal (adenoidectomy) is the standard and most effective treatment.
Recovery from an adenoidectomy alone is relatively quick. Most children return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days. If tonsils are removed at the same time, recovery takes longer (about 10 to 14 days) due to increased throat pain.
Surgery is recommended if the adenoids are causing obstructive sleep apnea, chronic mouth breathing, or recurrent ear infections that do not respond to medication. If the symptoms are mild, doctors may recommend waiting, as adenoids naturally shrink during adolescence.
Doctors often prescribe intranasal corticosteroids (like Flonase) to try and shrink the lymphoid tissue. Antibiotics may be used if there is a chronic bacterial infection. After surgery, over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are used for comfort.
Expect your child to have bad breath for about a week as the site heals. They may complain of a stiff neck or ear pain. Snoring might actually sound worse for a few days due to swelling before it gets better. Encouraging cool fluids is key to a smooth recovery.
