Question
What are some effective medications for treating adenoid hypertrophy that recurs after surgery?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy may be caused by incomplete recovery from a child’s cold and cough, leading to chronic nasal congestion. This can affect facial development, intelligence, and increase the risk of otitis media. It is advisable to have surgery as soon as possible. For adenoid hypertrophy, ion therapy can be considered. In some cases, the adenoids may naturally shrink after the child is four or five years old.
