Question
I discovered my child’s adenoid hypertrophy at the beginning of this year. It blocks eighty percent of the nostrils, and there is tonsil hypertrophy. The child snores, struggles to breathe, and breathes through the mouth while sleeping. Are there non-surgical treatment options?
Answer
For adenoid hyperplasia and tonsil hypertrophy, Western medicine often uses antibiotic treatment, and for patients with recurrent attacks, surgical removal may be considered. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes strengthening the patient’s immune system to promote shrinkage of the hyperplastic areas, preserving the adenoids and tonsils while achieving the goal of curing the hyperplasia and hypertrophy.
