Problems with tonsils and adenoids often present as frequent infections, chronic inflammation, or growths that block the airways. These conditions can lead to swallowing difficulties, snoring, breathing issues, and negatively impact overall health. Treatment can involve medication, or in severe cases, surgery for the removal of tonsils and adenoids (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy).
