Question
Can pediatric adenoid hypertrophy lead to chronic cough?
Answer
Long-term adenoid hypertrophy may cause children to experience chronic cough symptoms, especially during sleep or in the morning. This cough may be due to respiratory obstruction caused by the hypertrophy of the adenoids. In addition to coughing, adenoid hypertrophy may also cause other symptoms, such as nasal congestion, mouth breathing, and abnormal facial development.
