Patient's question:
What should be done about adenoid hypertrophy? What is EB disease? What are the causes?A boy has difficulty breathing while sleeping, occasionally snoring. After a rhinitis check-up, it was found that he has adenoid hypertrophy. He previously had an EB virus infection and has just stopped taking liquid medication for four days. His lymph nodes are still swollen, and his mouth hasn't healed yet. What should be done in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is generally caused by a child's cold or cough not healing completely. Long-term nasal congestion can lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and cause middle ear infections. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma treatment 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 too severe, it can be persisted with. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
