Common Causes and Treatments of Adenoid Hypertrophy

Question

What are adenoids?

Answer

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common pediatric condition, with common causes including: 1. Acute rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, and recurrent influenza during childhood can lead to rapid growth and hypertrophy of the adenoids if they occur repeatedly, exacerbating nasal obstruction and hindering nasal drainage. The purulent secretions from rhinosinusitis can further irritate the adenoids, causing them to continue to grow, forming a vicious cycle; 2. Chronic tonsillitis and other factors. Early detection and treatment are essential. If a child has difficulty hearing or frequently experiences nasal congestion and runny nose, it may not be just an ear or nose condition; adenoid hypertrophy should be considered. It is recommended to seek timely treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor at a regular hospital.
