Question
What medication should a ten and a half month old boy with adenoid hypertrophy take for effective treatment?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy often occurs due to incomplete recovery from a cold or cough in children, and long-term nasal congestion may lead to facial deformities, affect intelligence, and potentially cause otitis media. It is recommended to seek surgical treatment as soon as possible. For less severe cases of adenoid hypertrophy, iontophoresis can be considered. If the condition is not severe around the age of five, observation and waiting can be chosen, and it may naturally regress around the age of ten.
