Question
My son is 14 years old and has been feeling unwell recently, as if he’s fallen ill. I would like to ask, at what age is it best to undergo surgery for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
The optimal age for surgery in cases of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy is between 3 to 6 years old. For children over 6 years old, as they are in school age, poor sleep at night, obviouslysnoring, and hypoxia can affect their daytime activities, leading to attention deficit and memory decline. There should be no psychological pressure; maintain a cheerful mood, and during this period, pay attention to adequate rest. The diet should also be kept healthy, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which is beneficial for both you and the fetus.
