Question
Is taking antibiotics effective for adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Adenoid hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of the tonsils in the throat. Adenoid hypertrophy in children is often physiological, as the nasopharynx already contains lymphatic tissue at birth, which increases in size with age, reaching its maximum by the age of 6, and then gradually regresses. Only when it affects overall health or nearby organs is it considered adenoid hypertrophy.
