Question
The child has recurrent respiratory infections leading to second-degree tonsillar enlargement, accompanied by chronic inflammation and lymphoid follicle hyperplasia in the throat. The child has a habit of breathing through the mouth while sleeping and occasionally snores or experiences breathing pauses. However, the tonsils do not often become inflamed, with about 2-3 acute episodes per year. How should this condition be treated? Additional question: What is “tonsil shrinkage therapy”?
Answer
This requires evaluation by a pediatrician to determine whether medication or surgical treatment should be used based on individual circumstances. In daily life, it is important to strengthen the body’s constitution and avoid consuming irritating food. For pediatric adenoidal hypertrophy, it is recommended to seek the opinion and treatment of a specialist physician as soon as possible. Additionally, appropriate exercise and preventing heat stroke can also help the child recover sooner.
