Question
Which Beijing hospital offers effective treatment for adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy is often caused by incomplete recovery from a child’s cold and cough. Chronic nasal congestion may lead to facial deformities and intelligence issues, and can also trigger otitis media. It is recommended to consider surgery treatment early on. For mild cases of adenoid hypertrophy, iontophoresis can be considered. If a child falls ill after the age of four or five and the symptoms are not severe, observation and waiting can be chosen. Typically, by around the age of ten, the adenoids have a chance to shrink on their own.
