How is the treatment for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?

Patient's question:

Sleeping with mouth open, tossing and turning, always kicking off the blanket. Accompanied by snoring, the mouth closes and breathing becomes shallow. It's worse in winter and more severe after a cold. It becomes noticeable about two weeks later. Has been breathing through the mouth since childhood but has no other symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment is primarily to relieve nasal congestion. Nasal congestion can be relieved by using oxymetazoline nasal drops for 5 days, and it can be reused after 2-3 days. For children under 3 years old, it should be diluted by half. If there is nasal discharge, saline nasal spray can be used appropriately.
