It is not too late to have adenoid surgery at age 12. Adenoids usually shrink and become smaller after the age of 10, but due to the long-term inflammation of individual children’s adenoids, resulting in adenoid hyperplasia, surgical treatment may be needed.
1. Medication: if your child snores with his mouth open for a long time, you can choose medication to treat it, and if it is caused by inflammation, you can take antibiotics orally according to the doctor’s instruction.
2. Surgical treatment: if the symptoms of open mouth breathing and snoring cannot be improved by medication, surgical treatment is needed. Otherwise, it will affect the development of maxillofacial bones and cause adenoid face.
If you have adenoid hypertrophy, you must go to the ENT department of regular hospital in time to determine whether to choose medication or surgical treatment after examination and diagnosis by professional physicians, so as not to delay the condition.
