Question

Adenoid hypertrophy can cause a noticeable bulge in the cheeks, and patients often feel embarrassed by the change in appearance, wearing masks when going out to cover it. Is there an effective medication treatment for adenoid hypertrophy?

Answer

Adenoid hypertrophy typically does not improve with oral medication and is recommended to be treated surgically. This condition may lead to nasal airway stenosis, which can cause symptoms such as snoring at night. Pay attention to any increase in mucous secretions in the nose. If there is a bacterial infection, it may exacerbate the symptoms of nasal airway stenosis. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and spicy foods.
