WHAT TO DO.
Whenever adenoids are large enough to give rise to any of the symptoms already described, they should be removed. This is especially the case in children under 10 years of age, for it is probable that the condition will grow worse. The operation is a simple one and not dangerous. It should be performed under anesthesia. Relief is immediate and the health and strength of the child usually improves rapidly afterwards. It is wrong to delay having the operation done, for the presence of adenoids not only endangers the child's health, but a few months' delay may cause considerable malformation of the jaws, palate, nose, and face.
Study the above photographs of the same patient before and after treatment for adenoids. They show what can be done by proper treatment.
