Question

A seven-week-old baby is showing abnormal symptoms recently, with a poor state of mind. The parents are concerned about when adenoid hypertrophy surgery should be performed.

Answer

The optimal age for adenoid hypertrophy surgery is typically recommended to be between 3 to 6 years old. For school-age children over 6 years old, if there is poor sleep quality at night, with obvious snoring or hypoxia, it may affect daytime learning, leading to issues such as inattention and memory decline. It is advised that parents do not worry excessively, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to the child’s rest and diet. A light diet is recommended, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which is beneficial for both the child and the parents’ health.
