Patient's question:
My daughter is 34 months old. She has had yellow, thick, sticky nasal discharge for a month, with severe coughing. In the past two days, she suddenly started snoring while sleeping. A medical examination and X-ray revealed that she has enlarged adenoids and requires surgery. I would like to ask, is there any alternative treatment if she does not undergo surgery? I hope she will naturally shrink her adenoids by the time she is 12 years old.Doctor's answer:
This issue does not have fixed rules and requirements for every family and child. Each child is different, and the methods that can be accepted and accustomed to for putting them to sleep are also different. There is no need to necessarily learn someone else's methods; it is better to explore and adapt methods that suit individual circumstances. Overall, regardless of the method used, it is best to stick to a fixed approach at a fixed time to help children gradually develop good sleep habits.
