Tonsils and Adenoids

Tonsil and Adenoid Removal

Your tonsils (back of the throat) and adenoids (behind the nasal cavity) help support your immune system. However, they can become repeatedly infected or enlarged, causing problems such as chronic tonsillitis, breathing difficulties, or sleep apnea. Revere Health’s ENT specialists are trained to diagnose and treat these conditions, including surgical removal when necessary.

When is Removal Recommended?

Tonsil or adenoid removal may be advised if you experience:

Enlarged tissues causing breathing or swallowing problems

Chronic ear infections or nasal obstruction

Sleep apnea due to airway blockage

Recurring sore throats or persistent swelling

What to Expect

The procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. Most patients return home the same day. Recovery involves rest, hydration, and following post-operative instructions. Temporary throat pain and voice changes are common during healing.

Benefits

Surgery can help:

Reduce throat and ear infections

Improve breathing and sleep quality
