Question
How to Treat Pediatric Adenoid Hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy can trigger upper respiratory infections, with symptoms mainly including throat discomfort, a sensation of foreign body, coughing, and headaches. Long-term nasal congestion may lead to brain hypoxia, resulting in symptoms such as lack of energy, headaches, and decreased memory. When the adenoids repeatedly inflame and swell due to inflammation, timely medical consultation and consideration of surgical removal are necessary. Surgical removal is the most effective treatment for pathological adenoid hypertrophy and is suitable for children over 4 years old. The surgery is performed under anesthesia and is not affected by the season.
