Why do adenoids have susceptibility to chronic infections or earaches? Dan 07:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Not sure why they are more susceptible to infections, but once they do get infected, they can block the tubes that drain from your ears, leading them to get blocked and cause the earaches.Jasont82 19:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasont82 (talk • contribs)

Huh?

Adenoidectomy is often performed on children between the ages of 1-6 years as adenoids provide aid to the body's immune system. That makes no sense — if they're helpful, why remove them? Jpatokal (talk) 07:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree -- I've tweaked the text, but it still doesn't make sense. Sam Dutton (talk) 21:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
It seems strange to me as well. A guess would be that there is a missing in younger children, but the text should be based on more than guesses. Phizq (talk) 16:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
