Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The tonsil, also known as the pharyngeal tonsil or adenoid, is located at the top of the nasopharynx and the posterior wall of the pharynx. It belongs to lymphoid tissue and has a texture resembling orange segments. Like tonsils, the adenoid grows gradually from birth as one ages. The period of rapid growth is between 2 to 6 years old, and it gradually shrinks after the age of 10.
