Patient's question:
The girl is 10 and a half years old, 133 cm tall, weighs 80 pounds, and is a bit overweight. Her main symptom is exhaling through her mouth. When her mouth is covered, she can also exhale through her nose, but it's not very smooth. During quiet times, you can hear her exhaling clearly. She also breathes with her mouth open when taking naps, and her breathing rate is a bit higher than that of an adult. She consulted a local doctor, who said the surgery didn't work very well but later added that it did have some effect. Expert: Is the child suffering from adenoid hypertrophy, and does she need surgery? (Attached are the detailed examination results.)Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is a split of adenoid hypertrophy due to rhinitis, and surgery should definitely not be used because the surgical outcome is not good. It is recommended to take Sinus Oral Liquid orally and Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Dispersible Tablets, and use Triamcinolone Acetonide Nasal Spray for the nose. After treatment, the nasal passage will be unobstructed, and snoring will stop. The above is the advice for the question "Is a 10.5-year-old girl snoring with her mouth open due to adenoid hypertrophy?", hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
