Question
I always feel uncomfortable, and it’s getting worse over time. What is the treatment for adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Children with a blocked nose, snoring during deep sleep, and mouth breathing may be suffering from adenoid hypertrophy. Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to growth and intellectual development disorders in children and is also a common cause of frequent colds, sinusitis, and otitis media in infants. It is recommended to undergo a detailed nasal endoscopy. If the adenoid hypertrophy is below two-thirds of the posterior nares, conservative treatment is ineffective, and surgical treatment is suggested.
