Adenoid hypertrophy surgery indications

Patient's question:

A few days ago, my child was snoring while sleeping, and the hospital examination revealed that it was due to adenoid hypertrophy. A friend told me that adenoid hypertrophy needs to be treated with surgery to be cured. I would like to ask what are the indications for adenoid hypertrophy surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the indications for adenoid surgery are:
1. Adenoid hypertrophy causing nasal airway obstruction, leading to snoring.
2. Recurrent or persistent otitis media in children over 3 years old.
3. Recurrent or chronic sinusitis.
