Question
What foods can a one-year-old girl with adenoid hypertrophy eat to promote her health?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy often occurs due to unresolved colds in children, leading to chronic nasal congestion, potential changes in facial structure, affecting intelligence, and possibly causing otitis media. Therefore, early surgical treatment should be considered. For mild cases, observation can be made after the age of four or five, as the adenoids may shrink spontaneously around the age of ten. In terms of postoperative care, it is important to avoid colds, maintain nasal unobstructedness, and regularly follow up with a doctor to ensure a smooth recovery.
