Adenoids are small patches of tissue located at the back of the throat. They are similar to the tonsils and located right above them. Adenoids also produce antibodies to help your body fight infections along with your tonsils, help keep you healthy by trapping harmful germs that pass through the nose or mouth. While adenoids that are important in keeping children healthy, as your child get older, adenoids become less important, because your body is able to fight infection in other ways and virtually disappear as your baby grows older
