Dear parents! Adenoid hypertrophy Adenoids, also known as pharyngeal tonsils, are located at the midline of the posterior wall of the nasopharynx and are part of the inner ring of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring. Under normal physiological conditions, it develops to its maximum size at 6 to 7 years old, gradually shrinks after adolescence, and basically disappears in adults. This disease is most common in children and is often accompanied by chronic tonsillitis. The cause is inflammation of the nasopharynx and its adjacent parts or inflammation of the adenoids themselves, which repeatedly stimulates pathological hyperplasia of the adenoids. Symptoms 1. Children's symptoms: (1) Local symptoms: 1) Ear symptoms: Adenoid hypertrophy or hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue at the Eustachian tube orifice can block the pharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube, causing secretory otitis media on that side, conductive deafness and Tinnitus symptoms. 2) Nasal symptoms: nasal congestion, runny nose, and mouth breathing. Long-term systemic symptoms of "adenoid face" that cause dull facial expressions: Chronic poisoning symptoms: anorexia, chicken breasts, and dullness. If the snoring is severe, the breath holding is severe, and the normal life is affected, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Even if it shrinks, it will take many years, and most of them will leave serious and difficult to cure cystitis. If the tonsils are enlarged, it is recommended to remove them together, otherwise you will still snore after surgery. Generally, the hospitalization time for surgical treatment is about 1 week. We can accompany you when you are hospitalized in our hospital. I hope the above answers can help you, and I wish you and your family good health!
