Question
After a child has a cold, they start snoring and have been diagnosed with adenoid hypertrophy via CT scan. They also occasionally have headaches. The question is about suitable traditional Chinese medicine treatments.
Answer
Most cases of adenoid hypertrophy can be treated with medication after the cause is identified, and surgery is generally not recommended. It is advised to visit a regular hospital for examination and consultation. Adenoid hypertrophy can be treated with the following foods to regulate the body: consume about 200 grams of taro daily, which can be prepared in sweet, salty, light, steamed, or souped-up ways. However, ensure that the taro is fully cooked to reduce irritation to the throat. Continue this treatment for 3 to 6 months. In addition, lotus root, due to its short growth period, should not be consumed year-round and should only be eaten lightly after cooking. Seafood like kelp and jellyfish are also suitable ingredients for this condition. A daily dietary plan can be arranged based on specific circumstances.
