The probability of recurrence after adenoidectomy is generally small, but because adenoids themselves belong to the lymphatic tissue, which is the inner ring of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring, if the patient has a combination of inflammatory diseases in the nasal cavity, it may also cause adenoids to recur again.
Therefore, after adenoidectomy, it is necessary to strengthen the physical fitness and resistance to disease, reduce the occurrence of cold and flu diseases; actively treat nasal and pharyngeal cavity, upper respiratory tract infections to minimize the chance of recurrence.
Adenoid hypertrophy is mostly seen in children. Adenoid hypertrophy can cause snoring, open-mouth breathing and lack of oxygen in pediatric sleep. Longer duration of the disease may induce chronic sinusitis, secretory otitis media and so on. Prolonged lack of oxygen at night will affect the physical development of children, resulting in short stature. Prolonged open-mouth breathing can cause adenoidal facies, which affects the appearance of the face.
If conservative treatment is not effective and there are obvious indications for surgery, surgery is recommended. Some children may require tonsillectomy and tympanic tube placement at the same time. After surgery, it is recommended to strengthen the nutrition, appropriate exercise, to enhance physical fitness and resistance to disease. Prevent colds and upper respiratory tract infections.
Therefore, if there is a combination of adenoid hypertrophy, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital, fully assessed before surgery, standardized medication after surgery, and regular follow-up.
