Patient's question:
My son had surgery for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy a few weeks ago. The surgery was very successful, and all the detailed examinations showed normal results. However, he has been having frequent fever afterward. The doctor said it's normal, but I'm very worried. How is it normal for a child to have frequent fever after adenoid hypertrophy surgery?Doctor's answer:
If infants and young children frequently exhibit adenoid hypertrophy, surgery is generally required for treatment. After the surgery, if there are repeated episodes of fever, it is usually considered that the wound infection has been infected by the disease. After the body absorbs it, it can easily lead to a decrease in body temperature. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to carefully observe whether there is a continuous increase in secretions.
