Question

My child has been snoring at night recently and has been diagnosed with pediatric adenoid hypertrophy by the doctor. It requires surgery. I would like to inquire about the possible postoperative complications of adenoid hypertrophy surgery.

Answer

Adenoid hypertrophy is a condition where the tonsils in the throat swell. In children, adenoid hypertrophy is often physiological. If it is pathological, the adenoids can be removed simultaneously with a tonsillectomy or can be removed separately, and for those who are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy can be considered. The impact of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy on patients is significant, so it is recommended that patients visit a specialist in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and pay more attention to dietary issues, hoping that the child can recover quickly!
