Question

My son is 8 years old and has been feeling unwell recently, as if he has caught a disease. What are the treatment methods for adenoid hypertrophy?

Answer

Considering the current situation, it appears that the child is suffering from recurrent chronic tonsillitis and recurrent pharyngeal inflammation, leading to the recurrence of chronic tonsillar enlargement and adenoid hypertrophy. In this case, the swelling has reached a third-degree level, indicating a loss of specific functions. It is advisable to consider surgical removal to control the symptoms of snoring and to prevent recurrent inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, which is beneficial for the child’s health. Simple conservative treatment is no longer sufficient. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to respiratory health, drink plenty of water, and consider drinking honeysuckle tea. Wear a mask when going out, and avoid spicy and irritant foods.
