Question

What are the causes of enlarged adenoids in children?

Answer

Enlarged adenoids in children may be related to recurrent tonsillitis, especially when they are prone to occur during colds. If the doctor assesses that the adenoids have severely affected breathing or health, they may suggest a tonsillectomy. It is recommended that parents take their children to an otorhinolaryngology department for a detailed examination and consider whether to undergo surgery based on the doctor’s professional opinion. In daily life, attention should be paid to a balanced diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, and strengthening the prevention of colds to reduce the chance of tonsillitis. Treating adenoid enlargement is not easy, and parents should maintain a positive attitude, cooperate with the doctor, and work together for their child’s health.
