Question
Is treatment necessary for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
A confirmed case of pediatric adenoid hypertrophy is often caused by an incomplete recovery from a cold or cough and can lead to long-term nasal congestion, facial changes, and intellectual impact, even otitis media. Surgery is a common treatment method. For mild cases, observation until around the age of ten can be considered, as the adenoids may naturally shrink. In addition, plasma therapy is also an option.
