Question
A 4-year-old girl often has a fever and complains of throat pain. When sleeping with the pillow propped up, she snores. Could this be a sign of hypertrophic adenoids or hypertrophic rhinitis? How should it be treated?
Answer
Hypertrophic adenoids can usually be treated with medication first, but if the effects are not satisfactory, surgical treatment may be necessary. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital for a follow-up visit and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor. In terms of daily care, attention should be paid to regular work and rest , proper cold prevention and warmth, light diet, and maintaining good ventilation in the environment, as well as drinking plenty of water to enhance the child’s resistance. Do you have any other questions? Or is there anything else I can assist you with?
