Question
How is pediatric adenoid hypertrophy generally treated?
Answer
Pediatric adenoid hypertrophy, in addition to tonsillitis, can typically be treated with medication and surgery. Medication treatment includes the use of antibiotics and corticosteroids to alleviate inflammation and symptoms. Surgical treatment involves the removal of the adenoids and is suitable for cases where medication treatment is ineffective or symptoms are severe. When deciding on a treatment plan, it is important to consult with a professional physician and assess the child’s specific condition.
