Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, prolonged adenoid hypertrophy can cause a child's nose to become flattened, poor development of the alae nasi, widened palpebral fissures, mouth breathing, and a facial expression, presenting a special adenoid face. At this time, both the physical and intellectual development of the child are greatly affected, and it can also cause secretory otitis media. Active surgical treatment is recommended. Adenoid removal can be performed at the same time as tonsillectomy or separately. For those who are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy can be considered (but it is rarely used). In recent years, some people have proposed using plasma treatment for adenoid hypertrophy, which is simple and causes minimal pain.
