Patient's question:
The daughter's snoring sound during sleep has always been very loud, and she often keeps her mouth open, as if she's having difficulty breathing. Additionally, she has been wetting the bed more often than usual. Could it be due to enlarged adenoids?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually 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 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 persisted with. After the age of ten, it may shrink on its own.
