Adenoid hypertrophy surgery indications

Patient's question:

My daughter is four and a half years old. Recently, she has been having difficulty breathing at night while sleeping. After examination, it was found that she has enlarged adenoids. The hospital has recommended surgery. I would like to ask what are the indications for adenoid surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After the surgery for adenoid hypertrophy, the following precautions should be taken: Dietary guidance should be cautious. Semi-liquid food can be consumed 1-2 days after the surgery, and soft food can be eaten after about a week. It is recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits, etc. Psychological care is essential. Local pain and nasal pharyngeal bleeding, or blood in the sputum are common phenomena after the surgery, but there is no need to be overly anxious. Local care must be meticulous. Avoid severe coughing and sneezing.
