Treatment of nasal adenoid hypertrophy in children

Enlarged nasal adenoids in children is the most troublesome problem for many parents. Such a disease has a great impact on the healthy growth of children. It often not only brings certain pain to children, but also has a certain impact on children over time. Moreover, enlarged nasal adenoids in children will cause the child's nose to become bigger and bigger over time, and even the distance between the two eyes will gradually increase. We must pay great attention to such problems. Let us learn about the treatment methods of enlarged nasal adenoids in children.

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 lymphoid tissue and have an orange-segment-like surface. Like tonsils, adenoids gradually grow larger with age after birth. They proliferate most rapidly between the ages of 2 and 6 and gradually shrink after the age of 10. Adenoids hypertrophy is a pathological proliferation of the adenoids due to repeated stimulation of inflammation, which causes symptoms such as nasal congestion and mouth breathing, especially at night, and causes snoring and restless sleep. Children often turn over from time to time, which is more obvious when lying on their backs. In severe cases, sleep apnea may occur. This disease is most common in children and is often associated with chronic tonsillitis and tonsil hypertrophy.

Conservative treatment

Pay attention to nutrition, prevent colds, improve the body's immunity, and actively treat the primary disease. As you age, the adenoids will gradually shrink and the condition may improve or disappear completely.

Drugs and medical treatment

Surgery

If conservative treatment is ineffective, adenoids should be removed surgically as soon as possible. The surgery is often performed together with tonsillectomy. If the tonsils are not large and rarely inflamed, adenoidectomy can be performed alone. [1-2]
