Question
How should a child with adenoid hypertrophy who doesn’t eat much be treated?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy is often caused by incomplete recovery from a cold or cough in children, leading to long-term nasal obstruction which can cause facial deformation, affect intelligence, and trigger otitis media. Early surgery is recommended, and ionotherapy can also be used for adenoid hypertrophy. If a child develops this condition after the age of four or five and the situation is not too severe, they can persist with it. There is a possibility that it may shrink spontaneously in their teens.
