The adenoids are lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity, playing a protective role against bacteria and viruses during early childhood. They typically begin to shrink between the ages of 7–10 and may nearly disappear by adulthood.

Does Adenoid Removal Weaken a Child’s Immune System?

Dr. Vũ Duy Khánh, ENT specialist at ���ӽ紫ý (HFH), explains that adenoidectomy is a safe procedure and will not weaken a child’s immune system if performed properly. That’s because the adenoids are only one part of the respiratory immune system. Other structures like the palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils, tubal tonsils, and submucosal immune layers also contribute to immune defense.

Moreover, chronic adenoid inflammation can lead to recurrent ear infections, middle ear problems, and hearing loss. Thus, removing inflamed adenoids can help prevent these complications.

Dr. Khánh also noted that not all cases of adenoid inflammation (enlarged adenoids) require surgery. The decision depends on several factors, including the child’s age, the underlying cause, the severity of the inflammation, and how much it affects daily activities and overall health.

Adenoidectomy (adenoid removal) is usually recommended in the following situations:

• Recurrent adenoid infections (5 or more episodes per year).
• Adenoid inflammation that does not improve with medical treatment and is accompanied by complications such as chronic rhinitis, middle ear infections, sinusitis, or recurrent bronchitis.
• Enlarged adenoids that block the nasal airway, leading to prolonged nasal congestion, disrupted breathing, snoring, or sleep apnea.

This procedure is often the final and most effective solution for persistent inflammation.

Why Is Summer the Ideal Time for Adenoidectomy?

• Stable weather, fewer respiratory viruses: Summer's dry air and steady temperatures mean fewer sudden climate changes and less exposure to viruses and bacteria, reducing post-op infection risk.
• Children are on summer break: Surgery won’t disrupt school and gives children time to recover fully.
• Better post-op care: With fewer school or social activities, children can rest, reduce exposure to germs, and recover more comfortably.
