Common Causes and Treatments of Adenoid Hypertrophy

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common pediatric disease, often caused by recurrent episodes of acute rhinitis, acute tonsillitis, and influenza, leading to rapid growth and hypertrophy of the adenoids. This can exacerbate nasal obstruction and hinder nasal drainage. The purulent secretions from rhinosinusitis can further irritate the adenoids, causing them to continue to grow, forming a vicious cycle. Chronic tonsillitis and other factors can also contribute. Early detection and treatment are crucial. If a child has difficulty hearing or frequently experiences nasal congestion and runny nose, it may not be just an ear or nose condition; adenoid hypertrophy should be considered. It is recommended to seek timely treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor at a regular hospital.
