Patient's question:
My son had a cold a few weeks ago and was checked for adenoid hypertrophy. He wants to have surgery. Could you please tell Dr. Zhang Qingquan when you will have time for the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is generally 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 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.
