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.

Reduce throat and ear infections
