Question
Can adenoid hypertrophy in children lead to nosebleeds?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy often occurs due to children not fully recovering from colds and coughs, leading to chronic nasal congestion. This can further result in facial deformities, intellectual impairment, and even otitis media. Therefore, timely surgery is necessary. For adenoid hypertrophy, ionotherapy can also be considered. If children experience this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not very severe, it can be considered to wait until around the age of ten, when the adenoids may naturally shrink.
