The adenoid is a mass of tissue located way in the root of the nose between the passage of nasal cavity and throat. Adenoid help fight out bacteria and viruses and produce antibodies to help the body fight off infections. Commonly in children the adenoid enlarges normally during early childhood say between 2-12 yrs when most infections of the nose and throat are common.
