Adenoid hypertrophy can undergo nebulization treatment.
Adenoid hypertrophy can be treated with nebulized inhalation, which is very effective. The adenoid is a lymphatic tissue in the nasopharyngeal area that generally becomes enlarged in children. Its enlargement is mostly caused by inflammatory stimulation, commonly seen in acute rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. It can cause persistent nasal congestion, snoring at night, and can also lead to symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear stuffiness. During an examination with an electronic nasopharyngoscope, enlarged and congested adenoids blocking the nasal passages can be observed. In terms of treatment, patients can initially opt for conservative treatments, where nebulized inhalation has proven to be very effective. It can reduce congestion and edema of the adenoids to relieve symptoms. However, if conservative treatment is ineffective, patients may need to undergo adenoidectomy. This surgery requires hospitalization, and patients can generally recover and be discharged within a week.
