Patient's question:
My uncle just had his adenoid hypertrophy surgery done. How should he take care of himself after the surgery? Is there anything he needs to pay attention to?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 is recommended to have surgery promptly. Plasma treatment can also be used for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child contracts this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, it may be better to wait. By the time they are around 10 or 11, it may shrink on its own.
