Question

Children with adenoid hypertrophy often accompany middle ear infections and sinusitis, have a preference for certain foods, and are weak in constitution.

Answer

Adenoid hypertrophy usually occurs due to incomplete recovery from a cold in children, and long-term nasal congestion may lead to facial deformity, affect intelligence, and potentially cause middle ear infections. Early surgery is recommended. For adenoid hypertrophy, ionotherapy can also be adopted. In mild cases, observation can be made after the age of 5 to 6, with the hope of spontaneous shrinkage by the age of 10 to 11.
