Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 10 years old. Recently, he hasn't been feeling well and seems to be sick. Could you please tell me if adenoid hypertrophy requires surgery?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to growth and development disorders in children, as well as intellectual development issues. It is also a primary cause of frequent colds, sinusitis, and otitis media in children. If the adenoid hypertrophy exceeds two-thirds of the posterior nasal opening and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention is recommended.Any surgery carries risks. For nosebleeds, you can visit a hospital to obtain various ointments and oils for nasal application. In severe cases, it is necessary to go to the ophthalmology department for a thorough examination.
