Question
A patient’s husband experienced severe snoring and episodes of breathing cessation during sleep, diagnosed by the hospital as adenoid hypertrophy. The patient hopes to seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment instead of surgery. What are the methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy is a proliferative disease, and traditional Chinese medicine primarily uses oral herbal medicine for treatment, although the effects may not be very apparent. It is recommended that the patient visit the hospital to consider surgical removal treatment. At the same time, the patient should pay attention to a light diet, avoiding spicy and spicy foods to prevent symptoms from worsening. Additionally, increasing the intake of fresh fruits to supplement vitamins is beneficial for post-operative recovery. After surgery, it is important to strengthen nutrition and promote recovery.
