Children with enlarged adenoids may have complications such as rhinitis, hearing loss and chronic cough.
1. Rhinitis: adenoids and nasal cavity, sinus adjacent, if the adenoids over-enlargement will cause the posterior nostril blockage. If the adenoids are overly enlarged, the posterior nostrils will be blocked, resulting in nasal secretions that cannot be discharged in time, and bacterial infections can easily be caused by long term accumulation, which may stimulate the nasal cavity and cause rhinitis.
2. Hearing loss: When adenoid hypertrophy occurs, pathogenic microorganisms and toxins in the nasopharyngeal secretions usually retrograde to the middle ear, which may lead to purulent otitis media. When otitis media inflammation is severe, the patient may experience hearing loss.
3. Prolonged cough: Because adenoids are connected to the oropharynx, larynx, and airway, hypertrophy of adenoids can easily cause inflammatory hyperreactivity in the lower airway. Some children will have long-term chronic cough, long-term pharyngeal discomfort and other symptoms.
To summarize, adenoid hypertrophy in children will appear more complications. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition and causing complications.
