Question
An 8-year-old boy often coughs and has an uncomfortable throat. Does enlarged adenoids require surgical removal?
Answer
This condition may be related to inflammation, which can lead to local discomfort and frequent coughing. Oral medications and mouthwashes can be taken to enhance immunity, reduce inflammation, and stabilize the condition. Timely treatment of the disease and attention to a balanced diet for the child, avoiding excessive nutrition or deficiencies, are also important.
