What are the dangers of adenoids hypertrophy in children?

In recent years, adenoids hypertrophy is a common disease. Many people have not paid attention to it, let alone go to the hospital for treatment in time, which has led to worsening of the disease and causing bronchitis, dizziness, headache, snoring during sleep, and in severe cases it can also affect children's intelligence, causing great harm to the human body. So, what are the dangers of enlarged adenoids in children? Let’s take a look at the experts’ introduction to this issue.

Experts point out: Adenoids hypertrophy, 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-segment-like surface. This disease is most common in children and is often associated with chronic tonsillitis and tonsil hypertrophy. The hazards are mainly as follows:

1. Susceptible to bronchitis: Enlarged adenoids in children can cause nasal congestion, causing the child's nasal mucus to flow back into the pharynx, irritating the lower respiratory tract mucosa, often causing bouts of coughing, and making it easy to suffer from bronchitis.

2. Cause dizziness and headache: Children who breathe through their mouths and have blocked noses for a long time can easily suffer from ischemia and hypoxia in the head, resulting in mental depression, headache, dizziness, memory loss, and slow reaction.

3. Snoring while sleeping: The proliferation of proliferative bodies makes the airflow in the respiratory tract narrow and obstructed. During sleep, the gas will impact the root of the tongue and the hanging tongue and other tissues from time to time, causing snoring sounds with breathing.

4. Affects children's intelligence: Since children's development requires a lot of oxygen, snoring will cause children to suffer from severe hypoxia during sleep, which will directly lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain and cause a decrease in the secretion of growth hormone. It will not only affect the child's height, but also reduce the body's resistance, which will also affect the child's future intelligence.

5. Leading to adenoid facies: 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 an "adenoid facies".

Experts remind: The above is an introduction to the "hazards of adenoids hypertrophy in children". Parents are expected to pay attention to this. If parents find that their children have adenoids hypertrophy in life, they should go to a regular hospital for examination and targeted treatment in time to avoid the above hazards.
