Whether or not to remove adenoid hypertrophy is a comprehensive analysis that needs to be made with the patient’s specific symptoms as well as the degree of hypertrophy, and it does not necessarily have to be removed.
If adenoid hypertrophy leads to moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, moderate to severe nasal congestion, resulting in rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media and other recurrent adenoid facies, conservative treatment is ineffective, need to be transoral or transnasal endoscopic adenoidectomy.
For mild adenoid hypertrophy, symptoms can be improved and controlled by preventing colds and using drugs such as mometasone furoate nasal spray and montelukast; as some children grow older, their adenoids will gradually shrink and their condition will be relieved or even their symptoms will disappear.
It is recommended that children with enlarged adenoids that cause symptoms in the ears, nose, throat and larynx should consult a doctor in time for treatment, and that medications should be used under the guidance of a physician, and surgery should be performed if necessary.
