Do you have to have surgery for enlarged glands?

Adenoid hypertrophy does not always require surgery, but it depends on the degree of adenoid hypertrophy. If the adenoids in the nasopharynx are only congested, swollen and mildly enlarged due to an acute infection of the upper respiratory tract, the condition will improve on its own after the upper respiratory tract infection is treated and the cold is cured. After the upper respiratory tract infection is actively treated and the cold is cured, the condition of adenoid hypertrophy will improve on its own and surgery can be dispensed with. If the adenoids are enlarged, open-mouth breathing during sleep at night, apnea, waking up, inability to lie down or sleep on the stomach, these symptoms must be treated surgically. This is because adenoid hypertrophy blocks the posterior nostrils and nasopharynx, causing poor nasal ventilation, which directly leads to lack of oxygen in children, and lack of oxygen has a greater impact on the brain and heart, while not being able to achieve deep sleep at night, affecting growth hormone secretion and affecting the growth and development of children. Therefore, these conditions must be surgically treated, and should be actively consulted in the hospital.
