What is adenoid hypertrophy?

Patient's question:

My child is already 3 years old. She frequently experiences acute tonsillitis or colds, and sometimes also has sinusitis. The doctor said it might be due to adenoid hypertrophy and suggested taking my child for further examination. I would like to ask what adenoid hypertrophy is?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, general adenoid hypertrophy can be treated by surgical removal. At the same time, it is also necessary to observe whether there is an increase in purulent secretions. If bacterial infection occurs, it is easy to develop purulent lesions, which can be treated with oral anti-inflammatory drugs. It is important to pay attention to strengthening nutrition and eating more high-protein foods to improve the body's constitution.
