What should be done about pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?

Patient's question:

The doctor said the baby has enlarged adenoids. What should we do? It's been quite a while. It's like having a cold where the nose is stuffy, red and swollen, but without runny nose or sneezing. The baby doesn't snore while sleeping. The baby just likes to rub the nostrils with hands. The hospital examination and X-ray confirmed enlarged adenoids and rhinitis.

Doctor's answer:

This is mainly because the child's immunity is not strong enough, and combined with the usual protective negligence, children are easily stimulated by bacteria, leading to inflammation and adenoid hypertrophy. Keep warm, avoid wind, and prevent catching a cold. Regular massage and treatment of the Yingxiang acupoint can also be performed. Additionally, taking honeysuckle and lilac flower pieces can be a treatment option. Of course, if the symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy in children are not severe, conservative medication treatment can also be adopted. Nasal irrigation (physiological saline) combined with nasal spray treatment is possible, as well as taking oral sinusitis oral liquid or mucosal coating agents.
