Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:Adenoid hypertrophy has appeared in children in the past month.
Doctor's answer:
The adenoid, also known as the pharyngeal tonsil or hypertrophic body, is often caused by acute rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, and influenza. If it recurs frequently, the adenoid can rapidly proliferate and enlarge, leading to worsened nasal obstruction and obstructing nasal drainage. Secretions from rhinitis and sinusitis further stimulate the adenoid, causing it to continue growing, forming a vicious cycle of mutual causation.
