Patient's question:
The child has just finished having the adenoid surgery, and their nose is a bit stuffy. What are the post-adenoid surgery care methods?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the diagnosis is adenoid hypertrophy and it has already affected the child's breathing, such as snoring at night, airway obstruction, feeling slightly short of breath, the child being more prone to fatigue than other children, lacking energy, and sometimes having difficulty concentrating. Because part of the airway is blocked, the child inhales less oxygen, and all major organs will have hypoxia issues, ultimately affecting the child's growth and development.Adenoid hypertrophy does not have special medications to address it. As long as it meets the surgical criteria, surgical treatment should be followed as prescribed by the doctor.
