Adenoid hypertrophy can be diagnosed through clinical symptoms, relevant examination and comprehensive analysis to clarify the cause of the disease.
1. Clinical symptoms: patients with adenoid hypertrophy will have symptoms such as nasal congestion, ear stuffiness, open-mouth breathing, etc. Some patients will have snoring during sleep or wake up from sleep suffocation due to long-term airway obstruction that can affect sleep. Under the long-term effect, children may have symptoms such as drowsiness, irritability, slow growth and development, cognitive impairment, easy to wake up, teeth grinding, slow reaction and so on.
2. Related examination: For patients with suspected adenoid hypertrophy, imaging examinations such as oropharyngeal examination, anterior rhinoscopy, nasopharyngoscopy, nasal endoscopy, and lateral nasopharyngeal film can be performed.
If there are suspected symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy, patients need to be actively examined and cooperate with doctors to take relevant treatment measures.
