Patient's question:
My wife is 40 years old this year. Recently, she has been complaining of discomfort, so I took her to the hospital for a check-up yesterday. The doctor said my wife has adenoid hypertrophy and recommended treating it with traditional Chinese medicine. I want to ask the doctor how traditional Chinese medicine treats adenoid hypertrophy?Doctor's answer:
Adenoid hypertrophy generally does not respond well to oral traditional Chinese medicine. Surgical intervention is usually recommended for treatment. It can easily cause snoring during sleep and may also lead to airway narrowing, resulting in breathing difficulties. It is important to follow a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and fried foods to prevent symptom exacerbation.
