Adenoids are spongy tissues inside the nose, similar to tonsils, which tend to get swollen due to infection or allergies; leading to blocked nose.

Due to recurrent infections or allergies, adenoids tend to get swollen. Sometimes, to such an extent that they blow the nasal passage, leading to blocked nostrils. It can be very severe if the swelling is huge. Swollen adenoids would lead to mouth breathing and hence a tendency to keep the mouth open all the time.

Homeopathy helps to treat the underlying infection, allergies and thus reduce swelling of adenoids. It can help avoid surgical removal of adenoids in most cases, especially if the adenoids are not huge in size, blocking the nasal passage to a great extent.
