Your otolaryngologist or ENT specialist will most likely perform a physical examination to find out the exact location of the infection. In some cases, blood tests or throat culture is also obtained in order to determine the severity of the condition. If it persists, surgery is prescribed. Adenoidectomy is performed to remove the adenoids. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon places an advanced tool into a patients’ mouth to keep it open. The surgeon removes the adenoid glands using a curette or electricity to heat the tissue, remove it, and stop bleeding.
