Patient's question:
The child has recovered from a cold and noticed two small white spots on the tonsils. While taking a nap, they breathed with their mouth open and felt nasal congestion. After a thorough examination at the ear, nose, and throat clinic, it was found that the child has enlarged adenoids and rhinitis. They were prescribed Cefixime combined with Azithromycin, Dexamethasone Oral Solution, and Bromhexine Oral Solution, but the condition did not improve. There are still white spots.Doctor's answer:
If there is already significant tonsillar enlargement, and the effect of medication is not very ideal, affecting deep sleep, surgery is necessary. When it does not interfere with deep sleep, it can be carefully observed. Generally, after the age of six, it can inflate itself significantly. However, when it affects deep sleep, it will impact brain blood supply, requiring urgent surgical intervention.The child is troubled by pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, so the family must take the child to seek immediate medical attention to prevent the use of small advertisements for medication. Proper medication should be used. For parents, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition and help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
