How long does it take to get better with conservative treatment for enlarged adenoids?

Adenoid hypertrophy, if it is caused by inflammation, can be treated with oral or local medication. Conservative treatment can usually be observed for about 2~3 months, and sometimes the symptoms can be improved. However, not all patients can be cured by conservative treatment, depending on the patient’s condition and treatment. Conservative treatment for adenoid hypertrophy is mainly medication, such as nasal spray with mometasone furoate or inhalation with budesonide suspension. The presence of infection can be applied to antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefuroxime, roxithromycin, etc., the specific use of medication as prescribed by the doctor, usually about 2 to 3 months, can improve the symptoms. If the effect of conservative treatment with drugs is not obvious, it is necessary to consider further surgical removal of adenoids. Surgery can also be considered for patients with severe adenoid hypertrophy that blocks the posterior nostrils and severely affects breathing. Patients with enlarged adenoids should undergo standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
