Homeopathy or Adenoids and tonsils

What are adenoids and tonsils?

Tonsils

Tonsils are lumps of soft tissue and are part of the immune system. You have two tonsils, one on either side at the back of the mouth. Tonsils vary in size from person to person. You can normally see your tonsils by opening your mouth wide and looking in a mirror. They are two fleshy lumps that you can see at the sides and back of the mouth.

 

Adenoids

Adenoids are made of similar tissue and are part of the immune system. They hang from the upper part of the back of the nasal cavity (see diagram). Adenoids are bigger after you are born but usually stop growing between the ages of 3 and 7 years. You cannot see your adenoids. If needed, a doctor can look at the adenoids either by using a light and small mirror held at the back of the mouth, or by using a small, flexible telescope. Occasionally, an X-ray is done to determine the size of the adenoids.

 

Like tonsils, adenoids help to defend the body from infection. They trap bacteria and viruses, which you breathe in through your nose. They contain cells and antibodies of the immune system to help prevent throat and lung infections. Although tonsils and adenoids may help prevent infection, they are not considered to be very important. The body has other means of preventing infection and fighting off bacteria and viruses.

In fact, the adenoids tend to shrink after early childhood and by the teenage years, they often almost disappear completely. Generally, you can have your tonsils and adenoids removed without increasing your risk of infection.

 

Some problems associated with tonsils

Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils. A sore throat is the most common symptom. In addition, you may also have:

• Cough
• High temperature (fever)
• Headache.

Homeopathy is a great boon for children who are distressed because of enlarged adenoids. Not only does it save your child from the trauma of undergoing surgery, but it also prevents recurrent adenoiditis and aids in size reduction.

Homeopathic medicines, which are mostly made from natural resources such as plants and minerals, are safe, gentle, have no side effects, and are chemical-free. With millions of satisfied patients and more than 100 remedies for adenoids, homeopathy is gaining momentum as the most popular choice of treatment for enlarged adenoids.
