Patient's question:
Your child is three and a half weeks old and has been snoring, experiencing breathing pauses, and shortness of breath. The hospital has diagnosed it as hypertrophy of the adenoids. Could you please tell me what is the general age for adenoid surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the child's symptoms are currently severe, or if there is no significant improvement after a period of observation, the best treatment option at the moment is surgical removal. The postoperative results are generally good, and surgery is usually recommended for children over the age of 4. However, if the child develops "adenoid facies," recovery becomes much more difficult, and it would be very regrettable.Enlarged adenoids in children can pose significant harm to the patient. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialized medical professional and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay more attention to dietary issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
