One-half blockage of adenoids is classified as second degree hypertrophy, which is not serious if there are no symptoms such as open-mouth breathing and snoring; if accompanied by the above clinical symptoms, then it is more serious and needs timely treatment.
Adenoid hypertrophy will block the posterior nostrils to different degrees, in which one-half of the blockage belongs to the second degree of hypertrophy (26%~50% blockage).
If one-half of the blockage is accompanied by snoring, open-mouth breathing, or even otitis media, rhinitis, sinusitis, etc., it suggests that the blockage of the airway is more serious, and untimely treatment may lead to adenoid facies, malnutrition, and unresponsiveness. Timely treatment with montelukast, mometasone furoate nasal spray, etc. is needed, and adenoids need to be removed for treatment if necessary.
If the blockage is one-half but not accompanied by the above symptoms, the airway may still be relatively open and not very serious, usually taking montelukast and using topical mometasone furoate nasal spray etc. are more effective.
It is recommended to consult a specialist to choose the appropriate treatment according to the symptoms and condition, and the medication should be used under the supervision of a physician.
