Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 16 years old. Recently, he hasn't been feeling well and seems to be sick. Can adenoid hypertrophy be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy can affect normal breathing, leading to severe nasal speech, poor sinus drainage, and causing sinusitis. It is also prone to spreading, leading to middle ear infections and tonsillitis. If a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, sinusitis, and middle ear infection symptoms, surgery may be performed to alleviate the symptoms. Do not feel any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will benefit both you and your unborn child.
