Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. Recently, he hasn't been feeling well and seems to be sick. Could you please tell me what the treatment methods are for tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Considering the current situation, it involves recurrent chronic tonsillitis and recurrent pharyngeal inflammation, leading to the re-emergence of chronic tonsillar enlargement and hypertrophy of the adenoids. In this case, the swelling has reached a degree of three, indicating the loss of specific functions. It should be considered to remove the tonsils and adenoids through surgery to control the child's snoring symptoms and prevent recurrent upper respiratory tract inflammation, which will contribute to the child's health. Simple conservative treatment is no longer effective. Daily care should focus on respiratory health, drinking more water (such as honeysuckle tea), wearing masks when going out, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
