Question
My child is 14 years old and has developed adenoid facies. What should we do?
Answer
Once adenoid facies has formed, it is difficult to reverse. For children older than five years with severe symptoms, especially those who have had chronic respiratory symptoms and snoring, the likelihood of spontaneous recovery of adenoid enlargement is very low. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment or a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment as early as possible to avoid irreversible consequences that may affect the child’s normal development.
