Patient's question:
The baby in Big Sister's family has recently been diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy. The child is experiencing significant pain, and Big Sister is very worried because she doesn't have a deep understanding of this condition. Therefore, she would like to take this opportunity to ask the doctor how to treat this disease effectively. What are the symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy?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 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.
