A member asked:

Had my adenoids removed years ago but they grew back years later was thinking could this be the cause of my nasal and sinus problems if they are large?

Adenoid hypertrophy : It certainly is possible that enlarged adenoids would contribute to nasal breathing difficulties. Sometimes, adenoids can become chronically infected and can provide a reservoir for infection that could cause problems with ear infections and sometimes sinus infections. You might need them evaluated and removed again.
