Patient's question:
My son is 2 and a half years old, and he has adenoid hypertrophy, with a blockage of about 3/4. What are the Chinese medicine treatments for adenoid hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, adenoid hypertrophy is relatively common in clinical practice. It generally atrophies around the age of 25. However, if the child is snoring or breathing through their mouth while sleeping now, it is best to have the adenoid surgically removed. Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to breathing difficulties, causing the child to be chronically oxygen-deprived, which can affect their intellectual development.
