When adenoid hypertrophy snoring (snoring), open-mouth breathing and other phenomena occur, if they do not cause adenoid facies, recurrent respiratory infections, and long-lasting otitis media, they are relatively not serious, and active conservative treatment or surgical treatment can be chosen. However, if the above symptoms occur, or if the child loses weight or has developmental disorders, it is relatively serious.
Adenoid hypertrophy mostly occurs in children, and can be caused by repeated attacks of inflammation in the adenoids or surrounding areas, which can block the mouth of the Eustachian tube and the posterior nostril, causing otitis media, bronchitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. Nasal congestion, runny nose, snoring, and open-mouth breathing can occur. In severe cases, it will cause obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, adenoid facies, and nutritional dysplasia.
Snoring and open-mouth breathing in adenoid hypertrophy is a common phenomenon, which is not a very serious symptom, and can be improved through active treatment of related predisposing diseases and adenoidectomy surgery. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the condition, and the aggravation of the condition will lead to obstructive sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndrome, which is more serious.
It is recommended to consult a specialist to choose the appropriate treatment according to the symptoms and the degree of adenoid hypertrophy, and medications should be used under the supervision of a physician.
