General information for patients at Sachi Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. It is not a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result. Reviewed by the Sachi Hospital medical team · September 2026.
Why people come in
- Repeated tonsil infections
- Mouth breathing or snoring in a child
- Disturbed sleep or pauses in breathing
- Ear infections alongside nasal blockage
Possible causes
Ordinary viral throats are common. Enlarged adenoids can block the back of the nose in children. The decision for surgery depends on how often infections occur and how much breathing is affected.
How this is assessed
The throat, nose and ears are examined. Parents are asked about sleep, mouth breathing and school absence. Not every enlarged tonsil needs an operation.
Treatment options
- Treatment of the current infection
- Watchful care when episodes are infrequent
- Surgery when infections or blockage meet a clear clinical reason
Diagnosis and treatment depend on an individual consultation. A page cannot decide that you need a procedure.
When to seek urgent care
- A child struggling to breathe or unable to swallow fluids
- Trouble breathing, or swelling around the eye with fever
- Nosebleed that does not stop with simple pressure
