Symptoms of sinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy:

Local symptoms

Children have a narrow nasopharyngeal cavity. If enlarged adenoids block the posterior nasal cavity and the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, it may cause symptoms in the ears, nose, pharynx, and throat.

(1) Ear symptoms: The pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube is blocked, causing secretory otitis media, leading to hearing loss and tinnitus.

(2) Nasal symptoms: often complicated by rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal congestion and runny nose. There is an occlusive nasal sound when speaking, snoring when sleeping, and in severe cases, sleep apnea occurs.

(3) Symptoms of the pharynx, larynx and lower respiratory tract: Because secretions flow downward and irritate the respiratory mucosa, they often cause night coughing and are prone to tracheitis.

(4) Adenoid facies: Due to long-term mouth breathing, the facial bones are not developed properly, the jaw becomes longer, the palate becomes more arched, the teeth are uneven, the upper incisors protrude, the lips are thick, and there is a lack of expression, resulting in the so-called "adenoid facies".

Systemic symptoms

The children show symptoms of anorexia, vomiting, indigestion, and subsequent malnutrition. Poor breathing and insufficient lung expansion may lead to chest deformity. Poor breathing at night will cause children to be in a state of hypoxia for a long time, which will disrupt endocrine function and cause growth and development disorders. Parents may find that their children have symptoms such as inattention, mood swings, night terrors, teeth grinding, night sweats, and bedwetting.

Adenoid hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Loud snoring and breath holding during sleep are the two main symptoms. Mouth breathing during sleep, excessive sweating, morning headaches, daytime sleepiness, and learning difficulties are also common symptoms.
