Question
A four-and-a-half-year-old girl experienced difficulty breathing during sleep. Examination revealed hypertrophy of the adenoids. The doctor recommended surgical treatment. What are the signs for adenoid hypertrophy surgery?
Answer
After adenoid hypertrophy surgery, it is important to pay attention to diet. For the first 1-2 days after surgery, semi-liquid foods can be consumed, and soft foods can be eaten after about a week. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits. Psychological care is also crucial. Postoperative regional pain and nosebleeds or blood in the snot are common phenomena and should not be overly concerned about. Careful regional care is also necessary after surgery, avoiding severe cough and sneezing.
