Question
My child is already 3 years old and she often gets acute tonsillitis or colds, and sometimes she also has allergic rhinitis. The doctor said that it might be adenoid hypertrophy and suggested that I take her for further examination. I want to ask what is adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of lymphoid tissue at the back of the throat. It is a common condition in children that can lead to recurrent acute tonsillitis, colds, and allergic rhinitis. Treatment methods include surgical removal of the adenoids and medication to control bacterial infections and inflammation. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to strengthening your child’s nutrition intake, eating more high-protein foods can help enhance immunity and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
