What are Adenoids and Tonsils?
Tonsils Tonsils are lymphoid tissues located at the back of throat that help fight infections. Adenoids Adenoids are tissues located behind the nose and are not visible directly through mouth. In some children, repeated infections cause enlargement of adenoids and tonsils leading to breathing and sleep problems.
