Can you grow out of large tonsils? Dr. Zaghi at The Breathe Institute discusses...

Many parents wonder if children can “grow out” of having large tonsils, meaning that as they get older, the tonsils will no longer be a problem. However, it’s crucial to understand that children often “grow around” their tonsils instead. This means that as they develop, their bodies adapt to the space limitations caused by enlarged tonsils.
To breathe properly, their palate may narrow to create sufficient airway space, which can lead to orthodontic and other health issues. It’s important to monitor and address this early on to ensure proper development and avoid complications.
What do you guys think of this concept? Do you grow “out” of chronically enlarged tonsils or do you grow “around” them?

So do adults with large tonsils with sleep apnea have to get them removed? Are there other options that allow you to get off from using a CPAP machine

Thank you for your question!
Adults with large tonsils who have sleep apnea may undergo a tonsillectomy. However, it's important to note that this is just one of several treatment options. We strongly encourage patients to have a consultation with Dr. Zaghi to explore all potential treatments that can help optimize sleep, improve sleep, and address the root causes of sleep apnea.

@@TheBreatheInstitute thank you! My husband has sleep apnea large tonsils, narrow palette, possible tongue tied too, and every dentist and ENT he's been to never mentions any of this stuff or looks at him like he's crazy for bringing it up. I would love for him and I to talk with Zaghi, i do think I have major oral function issues too.
Also do you see infants? We have a 6 month old, her chin seems recessed and we also got her tongue snipped at 2 months but did no exercises before or after and it doesn't seem like the silnip made any difference. Unfortunately I only just started going down the my functional rabbithole and found out that tongue releases need prep and aftercare, her facial bone structure also seems more narrow (she was born a month early, don't know if that had any effect) how early can a child/baby be worked with?

@@chrisbrownlov1 Dr. Zaghi specializes in addressing complex issues related to sleep apnea, tonsils, narrow palate, and tongue tie. He would be more than happy to provide a thorough evaluation and discuss potential treatment options.
Yes, our team does treat infants and toddlers! Your baby may benefit from consulting with Dr. Nora Zaghi ( [e-mail]) . Early intervention can be very beneficial. In cases like your daughter's, where a tongue tie release was done, further evaluation and additional care might be necessary. A narrow facial bone structure and recessed chin can also be addressed, and early treatment can help guide proper growth and development.
