Patient's question:
A five-year-old child has adenoid hypertrophy. The doctor has a book with some old folk remedies (very, very old folk remedies) that can cure minor illnesses and various folk remedies for adenoid hypertrophy. The main treatment involves taking traditional Chinese medicine, which is not very effective. As the condition worsens, a complete cure is achieved.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 result in otitis media. It should be treated with surgery in a timely manner. 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 age of ten or older, it may shrink on its own.
