Patient's question:
I loved drooling when I was a child. It stopped when I was one or two years old. At that time, the doctor said my adenoids were relatively developed, but he didn't mention any treatment. When I was in my late 70s, I noticed that I occasionally snored at night or coughed when my breath was blocked by saliva. I also always breathed with my mouth open. When I was told to close my mouth and breathe through my nose, I found it uncomfortable and said it was hard to breathe. I didn't eat much mouthwash sugar every night, but my cavities were still severe.Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
The doctor said I should have an adenoid surgery.
Help needed:
What kind of treatment can be done without surgery? Some doctors said that adenoids would naturally disappear as I grew older.
Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is a pathological proliferation caused by repeated inflammatory stimulation, where bacteria or toxins become deeply entrenched in the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) employs a dialectical therapy approach to treat adenoid hypertrophy, emphasizing the regulation of the entire body. The effects are gradual, as changing the surrounding environment of the pathological tissues requires a certain amount of time. During the treatment process, if patients do not take corresponding preventive measures, it is highly likely to trigger a recurrence of inflammation. The outcome would then be a half-hearted attempt, potentially worsening the condition.Key nutrients, preventing colds, and boosting the immune system are important. Actively treating primary diseases, using furacilin nasal drops for nasal administration, can alleviate nasal congestion symptoms. As age increases, the adenoids gradually shrink, and the condition can be relieved or completely resolved.
