The tonsils are located in the back of the mouth on each side. The adenoid is in the back of the nose. The tonsils can be seen by looking in the mouth, but the adenoids usually cannot be seen on routine exam. Evaluating the adenoid usually requires passing an endoscope through the nose, using a mirror in the back of the mouth or obtaining an x-ray.
Ear, nose, and throat doctors who specialize in tonsil and adenoid care are available in CEENTA's offices in both North and South Carolina.
