Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days. Recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Is there any risk associated with adenoid hypertrophy surgery in children?Doctor's answer:
A three-year-old child experiencing recurrent adenoid hypertrophy can lead to symptoms such as breathing difficulties and snoring at night. If the hypertrophy is severe, surgery is necessary for treatment. Otherwise, it may interfere with the child's deep sleep and even hinder intellectual and facial development. The surgery requires general anesthesia, and it is currently very mature with minimal risk.
