Patient's question:
Boy baby, he is 10 years old this year. He is always coughing and has a lot of phlegm. The child says his throat is uncomfortable. Please ask: What should I do if the tonsils are swollen and snoring?Doctor's answer:
Children with nasal congestion snore loudly during deep sleep at night and breathe through their mouths. Adenoid hypertrophy is suspected. Adenoid hypertrophy is often accompanied by tonsillar hypertrophy, which 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. If the adenoid hypertrophy exceeds two-thirds of the posterior nasal, conservative treatment is ineffective, and surgical treatment is recommended. For parents, it is important to help children receive timely treatment for the disease. Additionally, the daily diet of the baby should also be balanced in terms of nutrition, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
