Question
Which Beijing hospital is good for treating sinusitis? My son has been experiencing a stuffy nose since his recent cold, snoring at night, but not during the day. The snoring is severe at night, and an X-ray at the hospital revealed adenoid hypertrophy. He is only three years old. What should we do?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy often occurs due to incomplete recovery from a cold or cough, and long-term nasal congestion may lead to facial deformation, affect intelligence, and possibly trigger otitis media. It is recommended to undergo surgery promptly. For adenoid hypertrophy, ion therapy can be adopted. If a child develops this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not severe, observation can be considered until around the age of ten, as the adenoids may sometimes shrink on their own.
