Patient's question:
Please check carefully. The doctor said she has vocal cord hypertrophy and needs to have surgery. We adults don't know what to do? The doctor said it's because she hasn't grown well. It's best to have her operated on now. Usually, it's best to wait until the baby is older to do it. But our baby's vocal cords are quite thick. It's best to have the surgery in the next few days. What kind of assistance is needed: Which hospital is the best for treatment? Does this absolutely have to be surgery???Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children are in the stage of growth and development, and their systemic immune function has not yet improved. When a large number of pathogenic microorganisms infiltrate, the adenoids cannot resist, and they are highly susceptible to infection, pathological atrophy may reappear. This can lead to obstruction of the nasal and respiratory passages, forcing the child to breathe through their mouth and causing snoring. Prolonged mouth breathing can result in facial bone growth disorders and chest deformities, including collapsed nasal roots, collapsed nasal wings, narrowed nasal anterior apertures, thick and upturned lips ("adenoid face"), and conditions such as "pigeon chest," "flat chest," and "narrow chest."
