Patient's question:
My little darling has a very severe stuffy nose, and she snorts while sleeping at night. The hospital has confirmed that she has adenoid hypertrophy. I want to ask if traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment can cure adenoid hypertrophy.Doctor's answer:
Children with nasal congestion snore at night while sleeping, and it is suspected to be due to adenoid hypertrophy. Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to growth and development disorders in children, as well as hinder intellectual development. It is also the main cause of sinusitis and otitis media in children. If the adenoid hypertrophy exceeds two-thirds of the posterior nasal, surgical treatment is recommended. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat it effectively.
