Actor Ranbir Kapoor was discharged from a hospital following a minor surgery, said a source. According to a report, he was being treated for adenoid tonsil. Ranbir, who turned 32 on Sep 28, was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai. ‘He was hospitalised…and he got discharged today morning. It was just a minor surgery, nothing serious,’ an official from the facility, told IANS.
If a report is to be believed, the adenoid tonsil had been troubling Ranbir for a while, due to which he had to sometimes sleep with his mouth open to ease breathing.
Why did he need the surgery?
According to reports the actor was suffering from difficulty breathing through his nose as he slept, which led to the inflammation of his adenoids and tonsils. The inflammation subsequently became worse and therefore they had to be removed.
What are adenoids and tonsils?
Adenoids is a small mass of tissue present at the back of your throat, at the end of your nasal passage. This mass of tissue is essential to help children beat infections and is usually present during a child’s formative years. The adenoids then shrink as the child grows and is usually much smaller in adults.
Your tonsils are a mass of lymphatic tissue present at the beginning of your throat, just where your tongue enters the throat.
In some people these adenoids get enlarged and make it difficult for them to breathe through their mouth. When these adenoids get inflamed it leads to the inflammation of the tonsils too. The common symptoms of enlarged adenoids and tonsils are; having a stuffy nose, inability to breathe through your nose especially when you are lying down, snoring, sore throat, trouble swallowing food, ear ache and swollen glands in the neck that can be felt with by feeling over the area just below the jaw.
