Treatment of enlarged adenoids in children

There are many common diseases in children. For children with long-term diseases, you cannot choose treatment methods at will. This will not help improve the child's disease. In addition, wrong treatment methods will cause various physical problems in children. So what are the treatments for adenoids hypertrophy in children? After a child suffers from adenoids hypertrophy, the body will have obvious symptoms, and treatment should be based on these symptoms.

Treatment of adenoid hypertrophy in children:

Repeated infections and allergies in the nasopharynx of the upper respiratory tract are important causes of adenoids hypertrophy. The accompanying diseases of adenoids hypertrophy such as common colds, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. in children should be prevented and cured as soon as possible. These diseases can cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, increased secretions, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and reproduction of bacteria and viruses, which stimulate the pathological enlargement of the adenoids. The pathological proliferation of adenoids can be prevented and delayed by taking medication to improve resistance, reduce inflammation, regulate immunity, and control allergies. Most children with mild or mild-to-moderate adenoid hypertrophy should be treated actively and prudently with conservative medication.

In traditional Chinese medicine books, enlarged adenoids are called "phlegm nodules". There are two types of phlegm: hot phlegm and cold phlegm. Children who usually eat too much and have a lot of internal heat often develop fever symptoms, especially when they have an infection. There are nasal congestion, yellow turbid nasal discharge, yellow phlegm, bad breath, snoring, irritability, dry stool, and even fever, slippery and rapid pulse, and red tongue with yellow coating. Children who are anorexic, picky eaters, have sallow complexions, are thin, have an indigestion, have clear runny nose, nasal congestion, snore, have postnasal drip when exposed to cold wind, sweat a lot, are not active and have low energy, and have loose stools are suffering from spleen and lung deficiency. Sometimes both cold and heat occur. When the main symptom is heat, the method of clearing phlegm and heat and opening the orifices is used. When the main symptom is cold, the method of strengthening the spleen and lungs and eliminating dampness and phlegm is used. Both types must include guiding medicines such as magnolia flower, Xanthium sibiricum, Platycodon grandiflorum, and Gebushicao, which can guide the effects of the medicines to the orifice of the lung, that is, the nasal cavity, and play the role of clearing the lungs and opening the orifices. Because these medicines are mainly used for children aged three to six, it is important to note that the dosage should not be too large or too bitter or cold. They should be safe and effective. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Biyuan Tongqiao Granules, Xincen Granules... As long as your physical condition is adjusted and colds are reduced, you can delay the pathological proliferation of adenoids.

While using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, you can also add Western medicine at different times. For example, when rhinitis, sinusitis, or acute adenoids is caused by bacterial infection, take anti-inflammatory drugs for five to seven days. Use Promin, Claritin or Singulair when allergy symptoms are severe. If nasal congestion is severe, you can also use Nasonex nasal spray, budesonide inhalation, etc. The combination of Chinese and Western medicines, and internal and external treatments, improves efficacy. For children with severe adenoids hypertrophy who do not require surgery immediately based on sleep monitoring, it is better to use conservative medication treatment first.

After understanding the treatment methods for children's adenoids hypertrophy, you can choose the above methods when treating children's adenoids hypertrophy. However, when using these methods, parents also need to pay attention to whether the child has any abnormal conditions. If any abnormal conditions occur, treatment should be stopped and all aspects of the physical examination should be carried out first to avoid harm to the child's body.
