Patient's question:
The child had a cold this year, and afterwards, he suddenly started snoring. Later, a CT scan confirmed that it was due to hypertrophy of the adenoids. Now, sometimes he says he has a headache. What Chinese herbal medicine can be used for hypertrophy of the adenoids?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of adenoid hypertrophy can be cured with medication once the cause is identified, and surgery should not be considered lightly. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for examination and treatment.For adenoid hypertrophy, the following foods are beneficial for the body: Eat about 200 grams of taro daily, with any seasoning preferred—whether light, sweet, salty, steamed, stewed, or in soup. It is essential to cook the taro thoroughly to reduce the irritation from its sticky substance to the throat. Taking it for 3-6 months is recommended. The next best option is arrowhead, as it has a short growing season and is not available year-round, and it cannot be seasoned—simply cook it and eat it plain.
Additionally, seafood such as kelp and jellyfish are also excellent medicinal foods for this condition. You can arrange your daily diet according to your specific circumstances.
