Tonsils and adenoids, what’s the difference?

You’ve probably heard them mentioned together, but did you know your adenoids are hidden from view? Unlike your tonsils, which you can spot at the back of your throat, adenoids sit high behind the nose, where they help trap bacteria and viruses in early childhood.

Just like tonsils, adenoids play a role in your immune system, especially up to around age two. However, when they become enlarged or frequently infected, they can cause problems like recurrent infections, airway blockages, and even snoring.

Concerned about your tonsils or adenoids? Dr. Troost can help with expert diagnosis and care.

Here’s another nifty tip for you on this …

Chronic sinusitis may be due to hay fever which is a form of an allergy. If you are looking for a quick fix, buy some over the counter antihistamines.

Even if the antihistamines improve your symptoms, you should still have this be analysed further.

Make an appointment with Dr. Troost to solve your problems with chronic sinusitis.

Did you know? Your nose helps regulate the temperature of the air you breathe!

Just like your lungs dislike dirty air, they also don’t appreciate air that’s too hot or too cold. That’s where your nose steps in, acting as a natural temperature and humidity regulator.

Most of the time, your nose is busy warming cool air, since we spend more time in colder environments than in heat.

Ever notice your nose runs in chilly weather? That’s your body working to warm and humidify the air, and the moisture you see is a result of condensation.

Your nose is incredible, so keep it healthy!

Got any questions or issues with your nose, contact Dr. Troost (ENT Specialist) to book your appointment.

Headaches, bad breath, constant fatigue? It could be chronic sinusitis.

When your sinuses become blocked and filled with fluid, bacteria or viruses can take over, leading to infection, pressure, and ongoing discomfort.

Sinusitis happens when the lining of your sinuses becomes inflamed, turning a normally air-filled space into the perfect breeding ground for germs.

Don’t let chronic sinus issues affect your daily life. Dr. Troost (ENT specialist) is here to help you find relief and feel like yourself again.

Snoring keeping you (and others) awake?

Excessive snoring can leave you feeling tired, irritable, and unrested. It happens when airflow is blocked in the back of the throat where the tongue, soft palate, and uvula meet, causing noisy vibrations.

In children, it may point to issues with tonsils or adenoids.
