Hi, Regards. My son is 6 years old and radiologically diagnosed as mild enlarged Adenoid. Problem is that when he sleeps, suddenly he wakes up from sleep with coughing followed by sign of choking of saliva in his throat for a while. It is happening almost every night for last 2 weeks.I am very much worried about the problem. Please advice.Imrose Mohit from Dhaka,Bangladesh.
Hello, I can understand your concern. Adenoids are lymphoid tissues that all fetuses have but as soon as the child Chat Doctor.  If it persists like it has in your son, it causes problems like sleep apnea, breathing problems, snoring, breathing from mouth, teeth development abnormalities etc. In such case, where adenoids are not disappeared on their own, a small surgical procedure is performed by ENT surgeon to remove them and manage all the associated problems. Thus, I would recommend you to visit an ENT specialist and go for further investigations and discussing procedures for management regarding enlarged adenoids. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your son feels better soon. Best,
