Failure to thrive
Occasionally, enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids can cause some children to be chronically underweight and lag behind developmentally (fail to thrive). This can be caused by an obstructed airway or an inability to move food through the throat due to an obstruction.Reducing or removing the tonsils or adenoids that are causing the obstruction can help resolve this problem; additional treatments or therapies may be required.
