Whether there is any relationship between enlarged adenoids and recurrent ear infections is debatable question. Its a known fact now that chronic nasal blockage can contribute to increased rates of ear infections and persistence of fluid in the middle ear area, but there are no corroborated studies to support the removal of adenoids in all children with recurrent ear infections. Collection of Ear wax can cause increased ear pressure leading to ear pain or ear aches, leading to a suspicion of ear infection.
