Adenoidectomy; Removal of adenoid glands Expectations after surgery: Most children have less trouble breathing through the nose and fewer and milder sore throats and ear infections after adenoidectomy. In rare cases, adenoid tissue that has been removed may grow back, but this usually does not cause a problem. Convalescence: Adenoidectomy is usually done as an outpatient procedure. Complete recovery takes 1 - 2 weeks. While healing, the child may have a stuffy nose, nasal drainage, and a sore throat. Soft, cool foods and drinks may help relieve throat discomfort.
