Usually by adolescence the adenoids start to decrease in size, but not always. Allergies and deviated septum are other causes. Nevertheless, it would be wise to consult an ENT specialist.
The quality of your voice will change after the adenoidectomy, but most of the change is often temporary. Raspiness is usually due to other causes involving the vocal cords themselves.
