The average size of a normal (non-enlarged) adenoid is 6.2 millimeters.
The average size of an enlarged adenoid is 11.6 millimeters. (Adenoids can become enlarged due to infection, allergies or other irritants.)
Now if she is getting fever it can be due to infection. Adenoid enlarges to protect and restrict infection.
Next Steps
Antibiotic
Antiallergic
Decongestant nasal drop
