Patient's question:
Adenoid hypertrophy, and rhinitis with severe snoring at night. After examination, the adenoid hypertrophy was treated with many Western medicines, but the effect was not good. The doctor recommended surgery. I feel the child is still young, can it be done?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually caused by a child's cold or cough not healing properly. Long-term nasal congestion can lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and cause middle ear infections. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma treatment can also be adopted for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child gets this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, it can be left to persist. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
