Patient's question:
How to diagnose adenoid hypertrophy in a 3-year-old boy?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 gets 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, it may shrink on its own.
