Patient's question:
Can rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy be treated with the same medication at the same time? I have been taking herbal decoctions for two months and the effect is not obvious.Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually caused by a child's cold or cough not healing properly. 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 therapy can also be used for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child gets this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, it can be left to persist. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
