Question
Diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy six months ago, with a volume occupying about 80% of the posterior nasal cavity, leading to uncomfortable breathing during the night. Occasionally, mouth breathing is required, and there is often a stuffy nose. The patient does not wish to undergo surgery and wants to understand the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in treating adenoid hypertrophy.
Answer
When adenoid hypertrophy leads to 80% blockage of the nasal cavity, it may cause severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing. This situation is typically considered a serious condition that may require surgical intervention. After surgery, patients can consider using traditional Chinese medicine for adjustment (regulation) to supplement Qi and Blood. For example, medications like Ba Zhen Wan can be used, but they should be taken under the guidance of a physician.
