Adenoids hypertrophy is harmful, so timely treatment is necessary

Adenoids, also called pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids, are located at the top of the nasopharynx and the posterior wall of the pharynx. They belong to the lymphoid tissue and have an orange-slice-like surface. Like tonsils, adenoids gradually grow larger with age after birth. They proliferate most rapidly between the ages of 4 and 6, and gradually shrink after puberty.

Adenoids hypertrophy can cause other complications. In a few cases, chronic nasal obstruction and long-term hypoxia may lead to cor pulmonale and even acute heart failure. Long-term adenoid hypertrophy can cause the nose to become flat, the nose wings to be poorly developed, the eyes to become wider, mouth breathing, and the facial expression to be dull, presenting a special adenoid face. At this time, both physical and intellectual development are greatly affected.

Traditional therapies are harmful, so be careful!

1. Drug therapy: When children have enlarged adenoids, the first method parents often use is drug therapy. Experts point out that the causes of adenoids hypertrophy in children are complex. Blindly taking medicine will not only have ineffective effects, but may also cause "destructive treatment".

In addition, since children are in a critical period of growth and development, this method of treatment is not suitable.

After understanding what to do if adenoids hypertrophy occurs in children, it is necessary to improve such a disease for a long time. In addition, during the treatment process, parents must take comprehensive care of their children. This will greatly help prevent the further development of the disease in children.
