Will your child’s enlarged adenoids get better with medication?

If the child’s adenoid hypertrophy is physiological hypertrophy, or the degree of hypertrophy is mild, drug treatment will achieve better results; if the degree of adenoid hypertrophy is more serious, the effect of drug treatment may be unsatisfactory.
1. Physiological hypertrophy
Adenoids begin to proliferate when the child is 3~5 years old, and after the child’s puberty begins, the function gradually decreases, and also gradually begins to atrophy, at this time, if with the medication, the effect is more ideal.
2. Pathological hypertrophy
Mild adenoid hypertrophy: If the degree of adenoid hypertrophy blocking the airway is less than 1/3, or the duration is relatively short, the symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy can be relieved by oral intake of Nasopharyngeal Particles, rinsing of the nasal cavity with saline solution, and topical application of Mometasone Furoate Nasal Spray under the guidance of the doctor.
Adenoid hypertrophy is more serious: If the child’s adenoid hypertrophy is larger and lasts for a longer period of time, and there is open-mouth breathing at night, snoring, or repeated respiratory tract infections, the effect of purely applying medication at this time is poor, and it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for medical consultation, and if necessary, surgical treatment is needed.
It should be noted that the above medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor, not blindly self-medication.
