Question

Where in Beijing can I find the best traditional Chinese medicine treatment for pediatric adenoids? My child has a problem with adenoid hypertrophy, and they have a stuffy nose while sleeping but are fine during the day and when held. They also don’t have a runny nose, but often make a whistling sound while inhaling.

Answer

Due to the nature of sinusitis, it is recommended to guide patients in proper nose blowing techniques, and to cough or sneeze gently. Adequate rest and avoiding overexertion are also advised to prevent severe asthma attacks. Furthermore, it is important to prevent colds, avoid smoking, maintain good indoor air circulation, reduce time spent in air-conditioned environments, and be mindful of indoor-outdoor temperature differences to avoid stimulating the nasal passages. After recovery, moderate physical activities such as jogging or Tai Chi can be performed to enhance physical resistance and reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery.
