Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. What should I do if the baby has hypertrophic nasal glands?Doctor's answer:
Local Symptoms: Children with narrow nasal and pharyngeal passages, such as enlarged adenoids, can block the posterior nasal aperture and the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube, leading to symptoms in the ear, nose, pharynx, and larynx. The ear may develop purulent otitis media or sinusitis. The pharynx and lower respiratory tract often cause cough suppression or lead to tracheitis. Due to prolonged mouth breathing, facial bone development is impaired, resulting in what is known as "adenoid face."
