A. Yes, adenoid enlargement is relatively common in children, particularly between the ages of 3 to 7 years. Adenoids are glands located at the back of the nose, and when they become enlarged, they can cause symptoms like a blocked nose, snoring, and difficulty breathing through the nose. It may also lead to frequent ear infections or sore throats. For nasal blockage and snoring caused by enlarged adenoids, over-the-counter saline nasal sprays or drops can help clear the nasal passages. If the symptoms are due to a bacterial infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. In some cases, decongestants or antihistamines may be recommended to reduce swelling or allergic reactions, but these should only be used under a doctor's guidance, especially in young children. If the symptoms persist or if snoring and blocked nose affect your child's sleep quality, it's important to consult a pediatrician or an ENT specialist to evaluate the need for further treatment, such as adenoidectomy (surgical removal of the adenoids) in more severe cases.
