This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for enlarged adenoids, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one.

About enlarged adenoids
The adenoids are glands of immune tissue at the back of the nose, above the throat. They are largest in children between about three and seven years of age and normally shrink by the teenage years. Repeated infections or allergies can keep them enlarged, causing a blocked nose, breathing through the mouth, snoring, a nasal voice, restless sleep, frequent colds, recurrent ear infections, fluid behind the eardrum with hearing loss and, in some children, pauses in breathing during sleep. Diagnosis is made by an ENT specialist with an examination, nasal endoscopy or an X-ray of the nasopharynx. Treatment ranges from observation and nasal steroid sprays to surgical removal (adenoidectomy) when symptoms are severe or hearing is affected. See a doctor if a child snores heavily with pauses in breathing, has repeated ear infections or seems to hear poorly.
