Question

A 9-year-old child has adenoid hypertrophy, which approximately blocks the airway by half. They often experience discomfort during sleep due to irregular breathing at night. What treatment methods are recommended for adenoid hypertrophy?

Answer

It is recommended to consult a specialized hospital, as the treatment cost may vary depending on the condition and the hospital. Generally, surgical treatment is more effective for adenoid hypertrophy that affects sleep, while medication can only alleviate symptoms. Postoperative care should be taken, and it is advised to avoid eating greasy foods. Adenoid hypertrophy may have an impact on a child’s health, so it is suggested to seek treatment from a specialist as soon as possible. In daily life, it is important to stay hydrated and pay attention to diet, hoping the child can recover soon.
