Patient's question:
Baby is 13 weeks old, feeling something is off during this period, not in good spirits either. Please ask: How to treat nasal rhinitis and adenoid hypertrophy in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with nasal congestion snore deeply during deep sleep at night and breathe through their mouths. Adenoid hypertrophy is suspected. Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to growth and development disorders in children, as well as intellectual development issues. It is also the main cause of frequent colds, sinusitis, and otitis media in children. It is recommended to visit an otolaryngology department for a nasal endoscopy. If the adenoid hypertrophy is more than two-thirds of the posterior nasal opening, and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment is recommended. For rhinitis, saline nasal irrigation can be used during the day, and nebulization can also be used as supplementary treatment. Severe cases may also require surgery.
