Patient's question:
Medical history and treatment effects: Currently using medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach, but there is no significant effect. What kind of help do you want: What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, tonsillar hypertrophy is also known as adenoid hypertrophy. This condition is a pathological hyperplasia and enlargement of the palatine tonsils, often resulting from pharyngeal infections and repeated inflammatory stimuli. The causative agents of tonsillitis are primarily Streptococcus haemolyticus, but other pathogens such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and viruses can also cause it.Recommendations: Acute tonsillitis is contagious and should be appropriately isolated. Since this condition is often caused by Streptococcus, antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs can be used. Additionally, it is important to get adequate rest, maintain regular bowel movements, drink plenty of fluids, and consume cold, liquid foods. Medications such as fever reducers, pain relievers, and mouthwashes should also be provided. Most patients can recover within about a week.
Adenoid hypertrophy is itself prone to being accompanied by rhinosinusitis, which can cause nasal congestion, excessive nasal discharge, snoring, and breathing difficulties during sleep. Some children may also experience symptoms of otitis media.
