Patient's question:
Adenoid hypertrophy, and rhinitis with severe snoring at night. After examination, the adenoid hypertrophy was treated with many Western medicines, but the effect was not good. The doctor recommended surgery. I feel the child is still young, can it be done?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 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 they are around 10 or 11 years old, it may shrink on its own.
