The adenoids are located high in the throat behind the nose and roof of the mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Together they form part of the ring of glandular tissue at the back of the throat. The tonsils and adenoids assist the body in defense against infection by &#8220;sampling&#8221; entering bacteria and viruses and becoming infected themselves. They then help form antibodies to resist and fight future infections.<\/p>\n<p>However, the tonsils and adenoids often become susceptible to recurrent bacterial infections and obstruction that may lead to breathing, swallowing and sleep problems.
