Patient's question:
The child has adenoid hypertrophy. Lately, there have been periods without nasal mucus and periods with thick, yellow nasal mucus, which seems to be excessive. What could be the reason for this? Can I buy a nasal aspirator online and use it to suction the child's nasal mucus?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, considering the child may have adenoid hypertrophy and sinusitis, it is recommended to have a sinus CT scan for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Additionally, does the child snore during naps? It is advised to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination in the otolaryngology department, have a sinus CT scan for a thorough examination, and assess the severity of sinusitis. If the adenoid hypertrophy is severe, surgical treatment can be considered, as it is prone to complications otherwise. The above is the suggestion for this issue, hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
