Does a child need surgery for enlarged adenoids?

Conservative treatment is preferred for children with enlarged adenoids. Surgery may be chosen if conservative treatment is ineffective or more serious complications occur. 1. Conservative treatment: children’s adenoids develop to the maximum at the age of 6~7 years, gradually shrink after the age of 10 years, and basically disappear after adulthood, and the condition caused by it may be relieved or the symptoms may be shown. Conservative treatment is to pay attention to rest and nutrition, prevent colds and flu, improve immunity and enhance immunity. 2. Surgery: If conservative treatment fails, or if symptoms such as sleep apnea syndrome, inattention, enuresis, etc., affecting growth and development, or even endangering life, surgical treatment should be considered. Before surgical treatment, careful examination should be made to exclude contraindications (e.g. acute inflammation, coagulation disorders, serious systemic diseases, etc.). Whether or not surgery is needed for adenoid hypertrophy, we need to go to the hospital, complete the relevant examinations, and wait for the doctor to make a comprehensive judgment based on the condition and examination.
