Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Local Symptoms: Children with narrow nasal pharynx, such as enlarged adenoids, can block the posterior nasal aperture and the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube, leading to symptoms in the ear, nose, pharynx, and larynx. The ear may develop purulent otitis media or sinusitis. The throat and lower respiratory tract often cause cough suppression or bronchitis. Due to prolonged mouth breathing, facial bone development is impaired, resulting in what is known as "adenoid face."
