Patient's question:
The child has adenoid hypertrophy and has undergone strict treatment for a period of time. Now, they want to have a thorough examination of the nose again. However, they have caught a cold recently. I would like to ask if the child can still see a doctor with a cold, and whether it will affect the examination.Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to the situation you described, it is suggested that this may be caused by adenoid hypertrophy. For your case, it is important to carefully observe whether the child is breathing through the mouth, how loud the snoring is during deep sleep, and whether there are any signs of improvement during treatment. If none of these conditions are met, you may consider getting a check-up. If the adenoid hypertrophy is less than two-thirds of the posterior nasal opening, then surgery may be necessary.
