Question
A 9-year-old child is experiencing symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy, approximately blocking 1/2 of the airway, causing difficulty breathing during sleep. It often takes half a day to breathe normally. What are the treatment methods for adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
It is recommended to seek evaluation at a specialized hospital. Treatment costs may vary depending on the specific situation, but if adenoid hypertrophy significantly affects sleep quality, surgery is usually required. Oral medication may only alleviate symptoms, so it is advisable to opt for minimally invasive surgery. Postoperative care is important and it is necessary to avoid consuming greasy foods.
