Question
I’ve felt like there’s something in my throat since my youth, and now at 31, the lump in my throat has grown larger. When I went for a check-up, I was told I have adenoid hypertrophy. I’d like to ask if adenoid hypertrophy can heal itself?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy is usually a result of chronic inflammation-induced hyperplasia. It generally requires surgery or laser treatment. In daily life, attention should also be paid to diet, with an emphasis on consuming fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins and taking high-protein foods to enhance resistance. At the same time, it’s important to reduce the intake of stimulating food (stimulative foods) to avoid exacerbating the condition.
