Patient's question:
Enlarged adenoids cause nasal breathing obstruction, making it necessary to breathe through the mouth at night, and causing nasal speech.Doctor's answer:
For adenoid hypertrophy, antibiotic treatment is generally used. For patients with recurrent episodes, surgical removal is often adopted. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has unique effects 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 treating hypertrophy and enlargement.
