Patient's question:
The adenoid is about 2/3 of the posterior nasal cavity. The doctor recommended surgical treatment. What are the indications for adenoid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the diagnosis is adenoid hypertrophy and it has already affected the child's breathing, such as snoring at night, airway obstruction, feeling slightly short of breath, the child being more prone to fatigue than other children, lacking energy, and sometimes having difficulty concentrating. Because the airway is partially blocked, the child inhales less oxygen, and all major organs will have hypoxia issues, ultimately affecting the child's growth and development.Adenoid hypertrophy does not have special medications to address it. As long as the criteria for surgery are met, surgical treatment should be followed as prescribed by the doctor.
