Patient's question:
Child is 10 years old, has had adenoid hypertrophy since childhood. How is adenoid hypertrophy treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, child Adenoid hypertrophy is caused by factors such as repeated inflammation in the nasopharynx or repeated stimulation of the adenoids themselves, leading to adenoid hypertrophy. It often presents with symptoms like mouth breathing, nasal congestion, and snoring. The child's enlarged adenoids can block the opening of the eustachian tube, causing secretory otitis media, which may result in hearing loss and tinnitus.It is recommended that patients avoid surgery and consider reasonable treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Please seek medical attention promptly at a formal hospital and do not delay the child's condition.
