Patient's question:
My baby is two and a half years old and has adenoid hypertrophy. It's been a month since this issue started, and it hasn't improved yet. We've tried many different medications. What should we do?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 middle ear infections. It is recommended to have surgery promptly. 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 managed by waiting. By the time the child is around 10 years old, it may shrink on its own.
