Treatment methods and recommendations for adenoid hypertrophy in children
Children snore during their afternoon naps, breathe heavily, and have poor sleep quality. This has led to eustachian tube obstruction, secretory otitis media, and a decrease in hearing. A confirmed diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy suggests that surgery is the best treatment option. Adenoids can be removed under nasal endoscopy, or adenoidectomy can be performed using an oral speculum and an adenoid scraper or an aspiration device. This can cure snoring and stabilize respiratory symptoms, with the use of cephalosporin antibiotics for postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment.

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common disease during childhood, usually starting to grow at around 3 years old, reaching its peak at 6 years, and gradually shrinking around the age of 10. The main symptoms include snoring during sleep, mouth breathing, and exacerbation of symptoms after a cold. Treatment methods include using medications to relieve nasal congestion, promote mucus drainage, and consider surgical treatment.
