Is the incidence of adenoid hypertrophy high?
The incidence of adenoid hypertrophy is very high, typically caused by acute inflammatory stimuli, and is directly related to the current dietary habits of children. Acute inflammation can include acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, acute rhinitis, and sinusitis. Inflammation leads to congestion, edema, proliferation, and exudation of the adenoids. This can cause patients to experience persistent bilateral nasal congestion, snoring during sleep, decreased hearing, tinnitus, deafness, ear pain, and other related symptoms. A diagnosis can be clarified by examining with an electronic nasopharyngoscope.
In terms of treatment, conservative treatment for adenoid hypertrophy starts with oral antibiotics. Additionally, inhalation nebulization is needed to relieve the congestion and edema of the adenoids. If conservative treatment is ineffective, the patient may need to undergo adenoidectomy for recovery.
(The use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
