Patient's question:
The child snores heavily while sleeping and underwent an electronic nasal pharyngoscopy examination. It was found that the adenoid hypertrophy blocks about 2/3 of the posterior nasal passage, with local secretions present. The tonsils are also enlarged. Besides surgery, what other treatments are available?Doctor's answer:
Children who snore are often due to hypertrophy of the adenoids and tonsils or craniofacial structural developmental deformities. A thorough examination of the nasal pharynx and tonsils is required in the otolaryngology department. If they are significantly enlarged, additional treatment is necessary. Surgical treatment may be performed if necessary. The above suggestions are in response to the question "A child snores frequently with secretions and enlarged tonsils, what treatment options are available besides surgery?" It is hoped that this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
