Question

Recently, my child has been snoring during sleep, and after a hospital examination, it was diagnosed as adenoid hypertrophy. A friend mentioned that adenoid hypertrophy requires surgery for recovery. Could you please list the symptoms that are suitable for adenoid hypertrophy surgery?

Answer

Hello, the indications for adenoid surgery include:

  1. Adenoid hypertrophy causing nasal airway obstruction leading to snoring.
  2. Children over three years old with recurrent or persistent otitis media.
  3. Recurrent or chronic sinusitis.
