It is not recommended to perform surgery for adenoid hypertrophy during coughing, as there are certain dangers during and after the surgery. 1. Intraoperative: when there is a cough, it may be caused by respiratory infection. Generally, adenoid surgery requires general anesthesia, which itself has an inhibitory effect on the respiratory center, and surgical treatment during coughing will aggravate its side effects, which may cause a decline in respiratory function and further affect the safety of the surgery. 2. Postoperative: the most common side effect after adenoid surgery is bleeding, such as coughing to stimulate the oropharynx, which may be more likely to cause bleeding of the wound, such as bleeding is difficult to control, and general anesthesia may be needed to stop bleeding. Therefore, if adenoid hypertrophy surgery is performed, it is necessary to wait until the cough is cured and then be evaluated by a professional doctor to choose the appropriate time for treatment.
