Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old and is getting checked for adenoid hypertrophy at the children's hospital. Could you please tell me how much the surgery costs there and what surgical method is used for the treatment?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually caused by a child's cold or cough not healing completely. Long-term nasal congestion can lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and cause middle ear infections. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma therapy can also be used for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child gets this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, it can be managed by waiting. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
