Patient's question:
My daughter is 4 years and 8 months old. She has undergone a thorough examination for adenoid hypertrophy at the children's hospital, where it is blocked 4/5. She snorts while sleeping at night and has heavy nasal sounds. Should surgery be performed? How should pediatric adenoid hypertrophy be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the condition is suspected to be severe adenoid hypertrophy. This can not only affect the child's breathing, leading to choking and subsequently impacting brain development, but also influence facial growth over time due to prolonged mouth breathing. It is recommended to consult a detailed ENT specialist. Adenoid hypertrophy in children has a significant impact on their health, so it is advisable for parents to take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is beneficial to give the child some fruit juice, which helps with digestion and vitamin absorption, and prevents stomach issues. We hope the child can recover quickly!
