Question
My child is 6 years and 9 months old and has adenoid hypertrophy, which has blocked three-quarters of the nasal passage. In the past, they had a high fever and coughed a lot, and they were in the hospital for a while. Doctor, does adenoid hypertrophy cause fever?
Answer
Postoperative fever is mainly due to secondary infection and tissue trauma, prolonged surgery time (>2 hours), extensive tissue damage, intraoperative blood transfusion, drug allergy, liver toxicity caused by anesthetics (halothane or enflurane), etc. Children with adenoid hypertrophy suffer more significantly, so it is recommended that patients seek specialist consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay more attention to dietary issues, hoping the child can recover quickly!
