Question
A three-year-old child is experiencing mouth breathing and frequent eye rubbing. After diagnosis, it is found to have adenoid hypertrophy. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
The treatment strategy for adenoid hypertrophy depends on the specific symptoms of the patient. If there are no obvious clinical symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, sleep apnea syndrome, or hypoxemia, a conservative observation approach can be adopted. It is recommended to strengthen physical exercise in daily life, enhance immunity, and prevent colds. Since adenoid hypertrophy often accompanies recurrent sinusitis and tonsillitis, a light diet is advisable. When conservative treatment is not effective, surgical treatment can be considered.
