Question
My child has been suffering from recurrent tonsillitis, leading to high fever. Does this have any impact on the child’s body? What are the symptoms of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
If a child has adenoid hypertrophy without symptoms, and it does not cause breathing difficulties or frequent colds, treatment is usually not necessary, as the adenoids may shrink on their own as they grow older. If accompanied by frequent colds or breathing difficulties, surgical treatment should be considered. For patients with severe pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, it is recommended to seek medical attention early and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily to avoid adverse effects. Thank you for your inquiry.
