Patient's question:
Snoring while sleeping, breathing through the mouth for over a year, severe night sweats in recent months. Hospital check-up revealed tonsillar hypertrophy (degree 3) and adenoid hypertrophy (degree 3). The doctor said surgery is necessary, as medication has little effect.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 defensive systems, promoting atrophy of the hypertrophic areas, thereby preserving the adenoids and tonsils while achieving the goal of curing the hypertrophy and enlargement.
