Question
Why do children’s adenoids swell?
Answer
Pediatric adenoid hypertrophy is primarily caused by repeated infections that affect the adenoids, which are common in upper respiratory infections, chronic recurrent colds, tonsillitis, and rhinitis. For pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, anti-inflammatory treatment can be observed. If it affects the child’s breathing or results in recurrent infections, timely surgical treatment is usually necessary. Daily care of the adenoids is also essential.
