Should pediatric adenoid hypertrophy be treated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child is three years old and has developed hypertrophy of the adenoid in the nasal pharynx. This is generally considered physiological, and medication can be used for control during this period. If it is well-controlled, the condition will not worsen. Since the child is doing well, it is recommended to start with medication to maintain and prevent further worsening. If it cannot be reduced when the child is older, then surgery should be considered.
