Adenoid hypertrophy, also known as pharyngeal tonsillar hypertrophy, is mostly due to pathological hypertrophy of adenoids caused by repeated inflammation, mostly seen in children. Clinical manifestations: 1. Nasal manifestations: often accompanied by rhinitis and sinusitis, manifested as nasal congestion, snot, heavy nasal sound, and snoring during sleep. 2, pharyngeal manifestations: due to secretion stimulation, there is often pharyngeal discomfort, cough and sputum, and occasionally low fever. 3. Ear manifestations: hypertrophic adenoids compress the mouth of the eustachian tube and cause secretory otitis media. 4. Adenoid face: long-term mouth breathing leads to protrusion of upper teeth, poor bite, thick upper lip and expressionless face, which is called adenoid face. 5, systemic symptoms: poor development, nutrition, slow reaction, inattention, grinding teeth during sleep, urination and other symptoms. Treatment: Conservative treatment is generally ineffective, and adenoidectomy is feasible for symptoms caused by simple adenoid hypertrophy, and tonsils can be removed at the same time when combined with tonsillitis. Observation points and precautions: 1. When your child shows the above performance, please seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the treatment and affecting the growth and development of your child. 2.After your child’s surgery, please follow the doctor’s instruction to use the nasal drops on time, because nowadays, sinus endoscopy is used for surgery, so it will cause edema in the nasopharynx. 3.If tonsils are removed at the same time, please prepare ice, ice bags and other items for your child, and the nurse will tell you how to use them to help stop the bleeding and pain. 4.In terms of diet, there is no special requirement for adenoidectomy alone. If the tonsils are removed at the same time, please eat cold liquid food, such as milk, juice and other liquid food, or egg custard for the first 3 days after surgery. Rinse your mouth after eating to keep your mouth clean. If the adenoids are enlarged and the tonsils are enlarged at the same time, but the size of the tonsils is between resection and preservation, and you are afraid of future hyperplasia and enlargement and need to operate again, you can choose partial removal of tonsils: 1.Tonsil perforation and ablation. 2. Removal of the upper part of the tonsils. This reduces the size of the tonsils and preserves the immune function of the tonsils. However, the indications for surgery should be good: 1-2 degrees of tonsillar hypertrophy and no history of recurrent tonsillitis.
