Adenoid hypertrophy accounts for five-fourths of the nose. Is it serious?

Patient's question:

A month ago, snoring while sleeping, breathing through the mouth, poor hearing, unclear speech

Doctor's answer:

For adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy, antibiotics are generally used for treatment. For patients with recurrent episodes, surgical removal is often employed. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has unique efficacy in treating adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy. TCM treatment emphasizes strengthening the patient's immune and defensive systems, promoting atrophy of the hypertrophic areas, thereby preserving the adenoids and tonsils while achieving the goal of curing the hypertrophy and enlargement.
