Can pediatric adenoid hypertrophy be treated without surgery?

Patient's question:

Daughter is 4 years and 8 months old, with thick yellow pus nasal discharge, lasting for about 5 months.

Doctor's answer:

Children with long-term adenoid hypertrophy develop a flat nose, poorly developed alae nasi, widened eye distance, mouth breathing, and a facial expression, presenting a special adenoid face. At this time, both physical and intellectual development of the child are greatly affected, and it can also cause secretory otitis media. Active surgical treatment is recommended. Adenoid removal can be performed simultaneously with tonsil surgery or as a separate procedure.
