Patient's question:
Previously had a CT scan, imaging findings: Soft tissue mass shadow seen in the top and posterior walls of the nasopharynx, no stenosis or displacement in the pharyngeal recesses or parapharyngeal spaces, no abnormalities in the bilateral carotid sheath areas, no abnormalities in the sella turcica or corresponding intracranial structures; bone window view shows no bone destruction in the intracranial area. Adenoid hypertrophy. Snoring during sleep, nasal congestion...Doctor's answer:
Hello, adenoid hypertrophy is a common childhood disease that can cause secretory otitis media, leading to hearing loss. It may also lead to sinusitis, resulting in nasal congestion, purulent discharge, and snoring.Recommendations: Medications mentioned above can be used. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgery to remove the adenoids may be considered. If the tonsils are also swollen, they can be removed together.
Adenoid hypertrophy in children poses significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be appropriately performed, but attention should be paid to preventing "internal heat" (excess heat in the body). We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
