Question
My wife is 40 years old, and lately she’s been complaining of feeling unwell. So, yesterday we went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said she has adenoid hypertrophy. The doctor recommended traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, and I want to ask the doctor, how does traditional Chinese medicine treat adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
The effectiveness of oral traditional Chinese medicine for adenoid hypertrophy is generally not very significant. Usually, surgical intervention can be considered as a treatment method, and after surgery, symptoms such as snoring and narrowing of the respiratory tract may occur. It’s important to pay attention to a light diet in daily life, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and fried foods to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
