Patient's question:
What to do about adenoid hypertrophy? The child is 5 years old. In June, it was found that the adenoids were slightly enlarged. It was said that they would shrink after the cold was over, but a month later, the child in kindergarten was infected with another cold again.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 is recommended to have surgery in a timely manner. Plasma treatment can also be adopted 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 or so, it may shrink on its own.
