Patient's question:
The daughter's snoring sound during sleep has always been very loud. She often breathes with her mouth open, as if she's having difficulty breathing. Additionally, she has been wetting the bed more frequently than usual. Could it be due to enlarged adenoids?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is generally caused by a child's cold or cough not healing completely. Long-term nasal congestion can lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and result in otitis media. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma treatment can also be adopted for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child contracts 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.
