Treatment Methods for Adenoid Hypertrophy

The lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx of infants at birth gradually fibroticizes with age, reaching its maximum at 6 years and then gradually shrinking. If it affects overall health or adjacent organs, it is called adenoid hypertrophy. This condition is most common in children and often occurs concurrently with chronic tonsillitis. Adenoid removal can be performed simultaneously during tonsil surgery or as a standalone procedure. Those unsuitable for surgery can consider radiation therapy. Snoring caused by pediatric adenoid hypertrophy is often overlooked by parents, and attention should be paid to whether there are any breathing pauses.
