hello. adenoid tissue are normal structures present behind the nose, these generally reduce in size by 10-12 years of age and may increase during episodes of upper respiratory tract infections. it is perfectly natural thing and you dont have to be concerned. however , if they persistently remain enlarged and you child keeps on mouth breathing , then meet your ENT doctor for further guidance. thanks
