Patient's question:
My child is 5 years old, has enlarged adenoids, and doesn't eat much.Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy is generally caused by a child's cold or cough not healing completely. 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 therapy 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 left to persist. After the age of ten or so, it may shrink on its own.
