Patient's question:
Adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy in children with rhinitis. Hello, if there is no rhinitis, will adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy cause a child to snore?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 result in otitis media. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Plasma therapy 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 managed by waiting. After the age of ten or older, it may shrink on its own.
