Question
My child is now 1 year and 9 months old. The adenoid hypertrophy was detected at 3/4 during a thorough examination at 1 year and 5 months. Western medicine has no effect, and Chinese medicine causes nausea and vomiting when taken or administered. Acupuncture is also ineffective. How should I treat my child’s adenoid hypertrophy appropriately?
Answer
At this age, the adenoid hypertrophy may be physiological. Consider antibiotic treatment if there are difficulties in breathing. Additionally, consider nebulizer therapy. If the swelling persists and interferes with breathing after the age of three, surgery can be considered. In addition to active treatment, it is also important to maintain a good mood, which is very helpful for recovery from the disease. I hope this answer can be helpful to you, thank you!
