How should children with hypertrophy of the adenoid be treated?

Patient's question:

My child has been experiencing snoring during sleep for several months. He also often suffers from nasal congestion and has been dealing with tinnitus. Today, after a check-up at the hospital, they said he has adenoid hypertrophy. So, how is adenoid hypertrophy treated?

Doctor's answer:

Adenoid hypertrophy can easily cause respiratory tract narrowing. This may lead to snoring symptoms. Surgical removal can be used as a treatment method. After the removal, it is important to pay attention to oral hygiene to avoid bacterial infection. Radiation therapy may also be considered. Additionally, it is important to strengthen nutrition by consuming high-protein foods to replenish the body's protein and promote healing. At the same time, a light diet should be maintained.
