Question
The doctor said the baby has adenoid hypertrophy, what should be done? It’s been a while. It’s like having a cold with a blocked nose, red and swollen nasal passages, no runny nose, no sneezing, and no snoring while sleeping. The child just likes to turn their nose with their hand. After hospital examination and X-ray, it was diagnosed as adenoid hypertrophy with rhinitis.
Answer
This is mainly because the child’s resistance is insufficient, plus the usual careless protection, making them prone to bacterial stimulation and inflammation, leading to adenoid hypertrophy. Keep warm, avoid wind and colds, and perform acupoint massage therapy at the Shinryaku point. Treatment can also include taking linden flower and purple dandelion pieces. Of course, if the obstructive symptoms caused by pediatric adenoid hypertrophy are not severe, conservative medication treatment can be adopted, such as nasal irrigation (saline) and nasal spray treatment. Combining oral sinusitis liquid or mucosal spray is also possible.
