Patient's question:
What to do about adenoid hypertrophy? The child is 5 years old. In June, it was found that the adenoids were slightly enlarged. It was said that they would shrink after a cold, but a month later, the child in kindergarten was infected with another cold by classmates.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 result in otitis media. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma therapy 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 severe, it can be left to persist. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
