Patient's question:
The child is 9 years old this year. He snores a lot during naps and has a rough breathing sound during the day, breathing with his mouth open. A CT scan revealed that he has adenoid hypertrophy, and his tonsils are slightly swollen as well. He doesn't want to have surgery. Can medication be used as a treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, the condition should be assessed based on the degree of adenoid hypertrophy, and it may be appropriate to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. In this case, it is considered that traditional Chinese medicine with the function of clearing heat and detoxifying can be used. Generally, the effect is not good, and long-term deep sleep snoring may require surgery. The child is affected by pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, so parents must take the child to see a doctor and receive treatment in a timely manner to prevent blind medication from alleviating symptoms. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
