Patient's question:
Girl, 5 years old, adenoid hypertrophy and allergic rhinitis were found during nasal endoscopy. She was previously treated with triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray at Shanghai Children's Hospital.Doctor's answer:
For adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy, antibiotics are generally used for treatment. For patients with recurrent episodes, surgical removal is often employed. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has unique efficacy in treating adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy. TCM treatment emphasizes strengthening the patient's immune and defense systems to promote atrophy of the hypertrophic areas. This approach preserves the adenoids and tonsils while achieving the goal of curing the hypertrophy and enlargement.
