Question

My son is 14 years old and has developed adenoid facies. How should it be treated?

Answer

Hello, this condition may be due to long-term respiratory discomfort and hypoxia leading to adenoid enlargement. The best treatment is to undergo surgical removal, particularly for patients with severe symptoms. However, there is a possibility of recurrence. All surgeries carry risks, but the risks associated with this procedure are generally smaller than the impact on health.
