Question
What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy can block the posterior nares, causing nasal congestion and leading to mouth breathing. Long-term mouth breathing may trigger tonsillitis and affect sleep quality and facial bone development. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. If the adenoid hypertrophy is not severe, it can be relieved by strengthening the body’s resistance and using furacin nasal drops, along with traditional Chinese medicine opsonize. If the hypertrophy is severe, surgery is often the best option.
