What happened

A Hebrew health article warns that enlarged adenoids can cause chronic snoring, mouth breathing, sleep problems, and even facial and jaw changes in children. ENT specialist Dr. Nadem Habashi says early diagnosis, especially between ages 2 and 6, can prevent lasting damage and may avoid later orthodontic work or surgery.

  • 01Persistent snoring and mouth breathing can signal an enlarged adenoid.
  • 02The problem can affect facial growth, jaw shape, and sleep quality.
  • 03Ages 2 to 6 are the key window for diagnosis and prevention.
  • 04Untreated cases may later require orthodontics, surgery, or both.
  • 05Children can be misdiagnosed with ADHD when the real issue is poor sleep.
