Patient's question:
My child is almost 11 months old. At night, he often snores, and it seems like there might be phlegm in his throat. During the day, his throat also makes a snoring sound. Some doctors say this is a disease that needs early treatment! I don't know if it's true. I'm seeking help from experts!Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has adenoid hypertrophy, also known as palatine tonsil hypertrophy, which is often caused by pharyngitis, tonsillitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, and upper respiratory infections. The clinical manifestations include mouth breathing, snoring during deep sleep, and long-term respiratory obstruction can affect the baby's brain growth and development. I suggest you take your baby to a regular large hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical treatment should be performed as early as possible. During this period, pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding catching colds to alleviate the condition.
