Patient's question:
At the age of 4, it was discovered that sleeping late causes snoring, unable to sleep flat, and mouth breathing. The symptoms are milder in summer, and there is almost no snoring when sleeping on the side at night. However, the symptoms are more pronounced in winter. Additionally, there is a history of bronchial asthma for 6 years, and there is also allergic rhinitis.Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy can induce upper respiratory tract infections. The main symptoms are discomfort in the throat of the child, a foreign body sensation, and often、、。Adenoid hypertrophy can also affect the child's nasal ventilation and drainage of secretions, leading to nasal congestion, runny nose, and in severe cases, the child's nose may be completely blocked. Long-term nasal congestion can also cause brain hypoxia in the child, resulting in symptoms such as lethargy, headache, dizziness, memory decline, and slow reaction. When adenoids undergo pathological hyperplasia and hypertrophy due to repeated inflammation, it is important to seek medical attention at a formal hospital and consider surgical removal of the adenoids. Currently, the best treatment for pathological adenoid hypertrophy is surgical removal, and children over 4 years old can undergo the surgery. The surgery is performed under anesthesia and is not affected by the season.
