Tonsil and Adenoid Problems
Tonsil and adenoid problems often manifest as recurring infections, chronic inflammation, or growths that obstruct the airways. These conditions can lead to difficulties in swallowing, snoring, breathing issues, and negative impacts on general health. Treatment involves medication or, in severe cases, surgery to remove the tonsils and adenoids (tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy).

Tonsil Problems
The most common issues in children are upper airway obstruction due to enlarged tonsils and recurring tonsillitis. Tonsil enlargement is often accompanied by adenoid hypertrophy. Treatment may involve medical monitoring or, if necessary, surgery.

How Long Does a Tonsil Surgery Take?
A tonsillectomy is a simple procedure that takes about half an hour, and the patient is usually discharged the same day.
At What Age is Tonsil Surgery Performed?
If it causes serious obstruction, it can be performed from the age of 2.Is There a Specific Season for Tonsil Surgery?
There is no specific season for tonsil surgery.Adenoid or Turbinate Enlargement (Turbinate Hypertrophy)
What is the Adenoid?
The adenoid is lymphoid tissue located in the back of the nose, in the nasopharyngeal area. As part of the immune system, it helps protect the body against infections. The adenoid is larger in childhood and generally shrinks during adolescence.What is Adenoid Hypertrophy?
Adenoid hypertrophy is the excessive growth and enlargement of this tissue. This growth can make it difficult to breathe through the nose and may lead to frequent ear infections, nasal congestion, snoring, and sleep problems.What are the Symptoms of Enlarged Adenoids?
Symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy can include:- Nasal congestion
- Mouth breathing
- Snoring during sleep
- Sleep apnea (breathing stops during sleep)
- Frequent ear infections
- Sinusitis
Why Does the Adenoid Enlarge?
The adenoid can enlarge due to frequent infections and allergies, among other factors. This is common in children, as their immune systems are still developing.At What Age is Adenoid Hypertrophy Common?
Adenoid hypertrophy is most common in childhood, particularly between the ages of 3 and 7. The adenoid generally shrinks or disappears during adolescenceHow is Adenoid Hypertrophy Diagnosed?
An ENT specialist typically diagnoses adenoid hypertrophy by evaluating the patient’s symptoms and using imaging methods such as endoscopy to examine the back of the nose. X-rays or MRI may also be required.Can Adenoid Hypertrophy Resolve on Its Own?
In children, the adenoid usually shrinks or disappears by adolescence. However, if it causes significant symptoms or affects the child’s health, surgical intervention may be necessary.What is an Adenoidectomy?
An adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the enlarged adenoid tissue. This procedure is performed to relieve nasal congestion, treat sleep apnea, and prevent recurring ear infections.When is Adenoidectomy Necessary?
An adenoidectomy may be necessary in the following cases:- Severe breathing issues
- Sleep apnea
- Frequent ear infections or sinusitis
- Persistent mouth breathing and snoring
Is Adenoidectomy Risky?
An adenoidectomy is generally a safe procedure. However, as with any surgery, there are minor risks such as bleeding, infection, or reaction to anesthesia. The recovery is typically quick in children.What is the Recovery Process After Adenoidectomy?
Children usually return to normal activities within a few days after surgery. Some may experience mild throat pain for the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed pain relievers. Most children fully recover within a week.Does Adenoidectomy Completely Relieve Nasal Congestion?
Adenoidectomy usually completely relieves nasal congestion related to enlarged adenoids. However, if other factors like allergies or sinusitis are causing congestion, these conditions may persist and require additional treatment.What Happens if Enlarged Adenoids are Not Treated?
If left untreated, enlarged adenoids can lead to persistent mouth breathing, sleep issues (such as sleep apnea), frequent ear infections, and hearing problems in children. These issues can negatively impact a child’s quality of life and overall health.Are the Tonsils Also Removed During an Adenoidectomy?
In some cases, the tonsils may be removed during an adenoidectomy. This procedure, known as an “adenotonsillectomy,” is usually performed when both enlarged tonsils and adenoids are causing breathing and sleep problems. Adenoid problems typically occur in childhood and can be resolved with appropriate treatment. If symptoms arise, it is important to consult an ENT specialist.Last August, I went to see my doctor for pressure in my ears and dizziness. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine. After using the prescribed medication, my symptoms decreased by 99%. I cannot thank Dr. Mustafa and his team enough. Furthermore, their prompt responses to my questions via WhatsApp during this period are proof of how seriously they take their work. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.
Hello, I went to see Dr. Deniz three months ago because of my vertigo, and I'm so glad I did. I'd been to so many doctors before, but they couldn't diagnose me. I tried various medications, but nothing helped. I was going to the emergency room every two days for IV fluids. While researching on Google, I found out Dr. Deniz had a clinic specializing in vertigo, and based on the reviews, I made an appointment and went. He diagnosed me with vestibular vertigo, and I've been taking medication for three months now. Thank God, I'm feeling much better. May God bless Dr. Deniz and his team. Thank you.
My wife had chronic allergies that caused swelling in her nasal passages and difficulty breathing. She coughed a lot because she couldn't breathe properly. We did a lot of research and heard that Dr. Mustafa was experienced in this field. Thankfully, her breathing improved and her cough disappeared after the turbinate surgery. You can definitely choose him. We are so glad we chose you, Doctor. Thank you for your expertise and hard work.
We met Dr. Deniz because of my mother's vertigo attacks. Her vertigo had become chronic; for two years, she had been experiencing prolonged attacks almost every two months, accompanied by persistent balance problems, making her life difficult. Dr. Deniz and his team first identified the underlying cause and trigger of the vertigo and began treatment accordingly. For the first time, the vertigo attack lasted this short, and the balance problems that had persisted for two years completely disappeared. Dr. Deniz is already excellent at his job, but his audiologist colleagues are also among the best in their field. If you have a complaint like vertigo, you can confidently entrust yourself to Dr. Deniz and his team.
I have been living with Meniere's disease for 2 years. I experience buzzing and ringing in my right ear, dizziness, and hearing loss... I previously consulted two professors. Both gave the same diagnosis. They said there is no cure for this disease and that I have to live with it. Through a friend, I met Professor Deniz. He said the opposite, that the attacks of this disease can be slowed down or stopped. He performed a series of tests in his clinic and started medication. My treatment has been ongoing for 3.5 months, and my attacks have decreased. I no longer constantly feel dizzy. I thank him and his team very much 😇 I wish everyone healthy days.
Many thanks to my dear doctor. I was in critical condition, barely able to stand, and with his accurate diagnosis, he got me back on my feet. I've completed my 6th month of treatment and I feel like I've been reborn. I realize what I've been going through for so many years. My endless thanks to the healthcare team and my doctor.
I have been suffering from Vertigo Meniere for 5 years. I went to all the doctors but couldn't find a cure. Then I went to Dr. Deniz Yılmaz. After the injection treatment in my ear, I regained my health. May God bless Dr. Deniz. I thank Dr. Deniz and recommend him to everyone.
I would like to thank my esteemed doctor very much. Despite being a chronic heart patient, he dispelled all my fears during the operation process. I am very happy with my nose now 🙂
So great Doctor! My little girl had Orta Otitis with drainage and perforation, we had treatment in Side, two different doctors, one first in Devlet Hastanesi, second good Doctor in Akdeniz Hastanesi. But they were good in general treatment. Our treatment wasn’t ordinary, because the drainage didn’t stop for 14 days. Previous doctors said “Don’t worry, treatment works”. Drainage is just the rest of the infection. We waited and waited and nothing changed. When we came to Professor Dr Mustafa Deniz, he saw at first sight that only antibiotic injections will help and in addition wrote some drops. Two days later drainage stopped. He also made great cleaning of the ear. He definitely knows how to work with children and with worrying parents😅😅 Thank you 🙏 Dr. Mustafa, Elinize sağlık!
There is no way to repay the effort that Professor Deniz put into my treatment; he is a truly great doctor. Thanks to him, I was cured of my vertigo, a problem that 10 other doctors couldn't solve. Professor, I'm so glad you exist; I can't thank you enough. In my opinion, he is one of the unparalleled doctors in Turkey. May God keep you with us; thank you very much.
I had vertigo for 20 years. I came to see Dr. Deniz a year ago. I'm much better now; before, I couldn't even go out alone. Now I can do everything on my own. I want to thank him and audiologist Simge for their help. You can go to them with peace of mind.
Professor Mustafa Deniz, thanks to you, my nose surgery went much better than I expected. I had surgery due to swelling of the nasal turbinates (conchae). I can breathe very comfortably now and I clearly feel the change. Your detailed and clear answers to all my questions throughout the process made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much for your attention, effort, and reassuring approach; I'm so glad I chose you.
