| | Tonsil and Adenoid Problems in Kids Signal Overall Poorer Health |
 | | Adenotonsillectomy, a combination surgery in which both adenoids and tonsils are removed, is a common pediatric surgery. | | | The parents of the affected children completed a QOL questionnaire covering such areas as bodily pain, physical functioning, self esteem, emotional impact, and behavior. | | | They should definitely seek treatment for their children if they perceive recurrent tonsil and adenoid problems." Stewart is an associate professor of otolaryngology and assistant dean of clinical affairs at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. |

| | As with other organs of the lymphatic system, the tonsils act as part of the immune system to help protect against infection. | | | In particular, sufferers of chronic sinusitis or post-nasal drip frequently suffer from these overgrowths of bacteria in the tonsilar crypts. | | | These small whitish plugs, termed "tonsilloliths" and sometimes known as "tonsil stones," have a foul smell and can contribute to bad breath; furthermore, they can obstruct the normal flow of pus from the crypts, and may irritate the throat (people with tonsil stones may complain of the feeling that something is stuck in their throat). |
