Surgery
MediCub ENT specialists will most likely perform a physical examination to find out the exact location of the infection. In many cases, blood tests or throat cultures are also obtained to determine the severity of the condition. The doctor will prescribe an antibiotic to protect against any infection. 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.
