What should be done about pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?

Patient's question:

My child is 7 years old. Recently, he had a physical examination at the hospital and was found to have enlarged adenoids. I don't understand what this disease is, but I'm very worried that it might affect his physical development. I'd like to ask the doctor, what should be done about enlarged adenoids in children?

Doctor's answer:

If the child's glands are enlarged and severely affect breathing, surgery is required. In the early stages, some anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is common to catch colds and inflammation, requiring regular systemic treatment. Avoid it from becoming a chronic condition. If the time spent is too long, it is easy for the gland enlargement to affect your breathing. Stay warm, avoid wind, and avoid getting cold. Usually, massage and regulation are performed in Yingxiang.
