Adenoids are pathological hyperplasia and hypertrophy caused by repeated stimulation of inflammation, which seriously affects the growth and development of children. Because the child's nasopharynx is relatively narrow, when the adenoids are enlarged, nasal congestion will affect breathing, and the mouth will open and breathe. If the child breathes through his mouth for a long time, the hard palate will deform and arch when the airflow hits it. Over time, facial development will be deformed, which is called "adenoid face" in medicine.

First, the treatment of adenoid face

Adenoid hypertrophy generally occurs in children aged 2- 10. Because this stage is the most vigorous period of adenoid growth, it is the best time to treat adenoid hypertrophy. The recommended treatment is conservative treatment or surgical treatment.

If the patient is an adult and the adenoid surface is fixed, it is difficult to recover. At this time, two suggestions are put forward: 1. Correct the maxilla in time, that is, the dentate appliance changes the dentition, and do bimaxillary correction if necessary. 2. If the patient has adenoid hypertrophy after the occurrence of adenoid surface, the adenoid can be removed first to prevent the maxilla from being further elongated and affecting the appearance.

Second, daily prevention of adenoid face formation

Once a child's adenoid face is formed, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, we should do a good job in the prevention of this disease, which can generally be prevented from the following aspects:

1, parents should guide their children to develop good living habits, pay attention to hygiene, and correct bad habits such as breathing through their mouths.

2. Parents should take their children to actively participate in exercise, enhance their physical fitness and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

3. Parents find that their children have diseases of neighboring organs, such as sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, otitis media, tracheitis and other common diseases, and treat them in time.

4, parents found that children with adenoid hypertrophy must be treated in time to avoid long-term adenoid hypertrophy leading to adenoid face change.
