Patient's question:
At the age of 4, it was discovered that sleeping late would cause snoring, unable to sleep flat, and mouth breathing. The symptoms were milder in summer, and there was almost no snoring when sleeping sideways at night, but the symptoms were more pronounced in winter.Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy can induce upper respiratory tract infections. The main symptoms are discomfort in the throat of the child, a foreign body sensation, and often、、。Adenoid hypertrophy can also affect the child's nasal ventilation and drainage of secretions, leading to nasal congestion, runny nose. In severe cases, the child's nose may be completely blocked, and long-term nasal congestion can lead to brain hypoxia in the child, resulting in symptoms such as listlessness, headache, dizziness, memory decline, and slow reaction. When the adenoid undergoes pathological hyperplasia and hypertrophy due to repeated inflammation, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a formal hospital and consider surgical removal of the adenoid. Currently, the best treatment for pathological adenoid hypertrophy is surgical removal, and children over 4 years old can undergo the surgery. The surgery is performed under anesthesia and is not affected by the season.
