What are the symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy in babies?

Adenoids hypertrophy in infants can manifest in many ways, which can be local or systemic, and can also be manifested through various organs on our face. This situation is easily ignored by parents. It is necessary to discover these symptoms as early as possible so that they can be treated as soon as possible. Let us now understand the symptoms of adenoids hypertrophy in infants.

1. 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:

If the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube is blocked, non-suppurative otitis media will occur, leading to hearing loss and tinnitus.

Nasal symptoms:

Adenoids hypertrophy is often complicated by rhinitis and sinusitis, with symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose. He speaks with a nasal sound and snores when sleeping.

(3) Pharyngeal, laryngeal and lower respiratory tract symptoms:

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 a lack of expression, resulting in the so-called "adenoid face".

2. Systemic symptoms
