Question
Can adenoid hypertrophy in children be treated with medication? How should one choose the medication?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy often occurs due to unresolved colds in children, which may affect facial development and intelligence and increase the risk of otitis media. Treatment usually involves surgery or ionotherapy. For mild cases, it may be considered to observe until the child is around ten years old, as the adenoids may naturally shrink in some cases.
