What are the symptoms of enlarged adenoids in children's nose

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common symptom in children. It is a type of tonsil hyperplasia. This symptom has both physiological and pathological reasons. If it is a physiological reason, it can be temporarily ignored. However, if it is due to pathological reasons, the hyperplasia and hypertrophy will lead to infection in the pharynx and repeated inflammatory stimulation, especially when the weather changes are obvious. Acute infectious diseases are prone to occur, which will cause malnutrition in children and cause physical deterioration. It has a relatively large impact on the normal development and health of children, and often leads to the occurrence of rhinitis, which causes hearing loss, tinnitus and other symptoms.

Symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy:

1. Nasal symptoms: Enlarged adenoids often cause rhinitis, sinusitis and other diseases, as well as nasal congestion and runny nose. There is an occlusive nasal sound when speaking and snoring when sleeping.

2. Symptoms of the pharynx, larynx and lower respiratory tract: As secretions flow downward and irritate the respiratory mucosa, they often cause coughing fits and can easily lead to tracheitis.

3. Ear symptoms: Obstruction of the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube will cause non-suppurative otitis media, leading to hearing loss and tinnitus.

4. Due to long-term mouth breathing , the development of facial bones is impaired, the jaw becomes longer, the palate is highly arched, the teeth are uneven, the upper incisors are protruding, the lips are thick, and there is no expression, resulting in the so-called "adenoid face".

5. Systemic symptoms of adenoids hypertrophy: The development and nutritional status of the whole body are poor, and there are reflex symptoms such as being awakened at night, enuresis, teeth grinding, slow reaction, and inattention. In addition, long-term airway obstruction and insufficient lung ventilation will lead to increased pulmonary artery pressure, and severe cases may lead to right heart failure.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of adenoids hypertrophy. I believe that through the above introduction, you have a better understanding of this issue. If you find the above symptoms in your daily life, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the disease. Finally, I wish you good health!
