Patient's question:
The child is three and a half weeks old and snoring with sleep apnea and gasping for breath. The hospital diagnosed it as hypertrophy of the adenoids. Could you please tell me what is the general age for adenoid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Adenoid hypertrophy is mostly treated with surgery now. In fact, surgical treatment is not the best method. In addition to the high risk of recurrence, it can also lead to low immunity. Generally, around the age of 4, your child's current age is also considered the best age range. Avoid dressing your child too warmly and eat a light diet to gradually heal.
