Tonsils & Adenoids

What b the Purpose of Tonsils and Adenoids? Tonsils and adenoids are composed of tissue that is similar to the lymph nodes or "(lands" found in the neck, groin, and other places in the body. They are pan of a "ring” of glandular tissue encircling the back of the throat. The adenoids are located high in the throat behind the nose and soft palate (roof of the mouth) and, unlike tonsils, are not visible through the mouth without special instruments. The tonsils are the two masses of tissue an either side of the back of the throat Tonsils and adenoids are strategically located near the entrance to the breathing passages where they can catch incoming infections. They “sample” bacteria and viruses and can become infected themselves. It is thought that they then help form antibodies to those “germs" as pan of the body's immune system to resist and fight future infections. This function is performed in the first few yean of life, but it is less important as the child gets older. In fact, there is no evidence that tonsils or adenoids are important after the age of three. Once recoil large study showed, by laboratory tests and follow-up examinations, that children who must have their tonsils and adenoids removed suffer no loss whatsoever in their future immunity to disease. There is a popular myth that tonsils and adenoids filler bacteria out of what we swallow and breathe, somewhat like a kitchen strainer. This is untrue. Any filter that could strain out microscopic bacteria would not allow the passage of any food particles and would making eating impossible. What Diseases Affect Tonstts and Adenoids? The most common problems affecting the tonsils and adenoids in children ate recurrent infections (causing sore throats) and significant enlargement (causing trouble with breathing and swallowing).

Before moving to Oregon about 38 years ago Mrs. Thomas and her late husband lived in Etna Green and then in this community. Sheryl and Richard Culp motored to St. Paul, Minnesota, Wednesday, where they visited Walter and Sheila Ahlbrand. They returned home

Recurrent acute infections of the tonsils also occur in adults. So do abscesses around the tonsils, chronic tonsillitis, snd infections of small pockets (crypts) within the tonsils that produce bad smelling, cheesy-like formations. Thmors cat also grow in the tonsils, but they are rare. When Should I Consult My Doctor? You should see your doctor when you or your child suffer the common symptoms of infected and enlarged tonsils and adenoids: recurrent sore throats, fever, chills, bod breath, nasal congestion or post-nasal drainage or obstruction, recurrent ear infections, mouth breathing, snoring, snd sleep disturbances. How Are Diseases of the Tonsils and Adenoids Treated? Bacterial infections of the tonsils, especially those caused by "strep," are initially treated with antibiotics. Removal of the tonsils mfer adenoids may be recommended for some children and adults. The two primary reasons for tonsil and/or adenoid removal are (I) recurrent infection despite antibiotic therapy and (2) difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Obstruction to breathing causes snoring and disturbed sleep pattern that lead to daytime sleepiness in adults and hyperactivity in children. Some orthodontists believe chronic mouth breathing from huge tonsils and adenoids causes malformations of the face asid improper alignment of the teeth. Chronic infection in the tonsils and adenoids can also affect nearby structures such as the eustachian tube - the passage between the back of the note and the inside of the ear. This can lead to frequent or chronic ear infections with eerachrt and hearing loss.

Firemen respond The Nappanee Smokey Stovers were called to the home of Myron Metzler, 71593 CRIOO, Nappanee, Saturday, December 21,7:21p.m., to fight a chimney fire. Creosote buildup led to the fire.

Nappanee fire department members were called away from their families and celebrations Christmas Day, approximately 9:33p.m., to the Bob Brown residence, 704 N. Clark, Nappanee. Creosote build-up was again- the cause of a fire, igniting inside the chimney. All but three firemen (20) responded to the call, driving six of the nine trucks. A chimney knocker was used. December 26, 8:46a.m., 16 men and five trucks, were called to the Water Treatment Plant, West Side Park, Nappanee. There was no fire, however, firemen had to stand by for a cholorine alarm. Five air packs were the only equipment used.

A time for sharing

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: I’m hoping that you will be able to help me in thanking several Nappanee people for my children’s Christmas, and even more so to thank them for reviving my faith and giving me the assurance and strength to keep going. I moved to Nappanee with my children from out of state, after leaving an abuse situation, two months ago. With very little furniture, little income and no public assistance, I have been able to manage-but it has been a challenge—mentally, physically and financially. Somehow, several people in the
