Patient's question:
Every day during the day, I occasionally cough a few times. About four hours after falling asleep at night, there will be a sudden, continuous coughing spell that lasts for about half an hour. Then in the morning, I cough a few times when I wake up. Also, when I get tired from exercising or crying, it can trigger a cough, but there is no wheezing sound.Doctor's answer:
It is possible that children with long-term adenoid hypertrophy may develop a flattened nose, poorly developed nostrils, widened eye spacing, 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. The adenoid can be surgically removed, either simultaneously during tonsil surgery or as a separate procedure.
