Question
The child has adenoid hypertrophy, occupying 3/4 of the nasal cavity. The doctor recommended observation for 3 months, but now they are having difficulty breathing. What medication can be used to alleviate adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
The treatment for adenoid hypertrophy depends on the extent of the enlargement and its impact on breathing. If it has already affected breathing and is considered moderate to severe, it is recommended to undergo minimally invasive surgery rather than medication treatment. Since the child is still young, long-term use of medication may cause significant harm.
