How can the enlargement of the adenoid in a child's nose be relieved?

Patient's question:

Suddenly felt uncomfortable, after checking, I got this disease. Please ask: How can children's nasal adenoid hypertrophy be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

The adenoid may develop pathological fibrous hypertrophy again due to repeated inflammatory stimulation (such as inflammation of the nose, sinuses, or tonsils that can also affect the nasopharynx), and it is common in children. Enlarged adenoids and accumulated secretions can cause nasal congestion; obstructing the opening of the eustachian tube can lead to eustachian tube blockage. Bacteria can enter the middle ear cavity through the eustachian tube, resulting in secretory otitis media, with symptoms such as ear fullness, ear pain, and hearing loss. It can also cause snoring, mouth breathing during sleep, daytime sleepiness, and affect growth and development and exercise. Long-term mouth breathing can lead to adenoid face.
