Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old. Since she was very young, we noticed she always breathes through her mouth, but we didn't pay much attention. A few days ago, her snoring became quite noticeable, but it has slightly improved in the last two days. Today, we had it checked, and it was found that she has enlarged adenoids, and surgery is recommended. Which hospital is good for treating enlarged adenoids?Doctor's answer:
Adopt tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Currently, most doctors do not advocate for surgical treatment, and parents are also reluctant to accept it. There are several main reasons for this. First, the child is too young and unwilling to cooperate during the surgery, which poses certain difficulties. Second, performing general anesthesia on very young children during surgery is itself a form of harm. Third, traumatic surgery is prone to complications such as bleeding. The fourth and most important reason is that removing this crucial health barrier from the child's body completely eliminates local resistance. If the child encounters viruses or bacteria, it not only makes upper respiratory infections more likely but also directly poses a threat to the child's lungs. Some existing low-temperature ablation methods are also traumatic surgeries and similarly lead to a decline in local resistance.
