Children at home have been particularly rough recently. Even when they are quietly playing with toys, they can hear rough nasal sounds, and their snoring at night is also aggravated. I have known that children have hypertrophy problems in adenoids before, but I am not anxious because it is not serious. I used to snore occasionally at night, but I can stop after changing my sleeping position. But how to change his position recently is useless, so I am a little worried.

So I went to the local hospital to take a lateral film of the posterior part of the nasopharynx. The doctor said that surgery is recommended for adenoid hypertrophy that blocks half or more of the airway.

The complications of adenoidal hypertrophy were investigated online.

(1) Ear symptoms: The pharyngeal orifice of eustachian tube is blocked, causing secretory otitis media, leading to hearing loss and tinnitus.

(2) Nasal symptoms: Rhinitis, sinusitis, stuffy nose, runny nose and other symptoms are common. Speak with an occlusive nasal sound, snore during sleep, and in severe cases, sleep apnea occurs.

(3) Symptoms of pharynx, larynx and lower respiratory tract: Because secretions flow downwards and stimulate respiratory mucosa, they often cause cough at night and are easy to be complicated with tracheitis.

(4) Adenoid face: Due to long-term breathing with the mouth open, the facial bone development is hindered, the jaw bone is lengthened, the palatal bone is arched, the dentition is irregular, the upper incisors are prominent, the lips are thick, and there is no expression, resulting in the so-called "adenoid face".

The more you check, the less confident you are. However, the operation feels a little early for children aged 2 and a half, so you hang up the special needs number of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics. If the most authoritative doctor suggests removal, you won't hesitate.

after watching the film, the doctor said that the blockage was really serious, and the back nostril was almost blocked. How can it be uncomfortable to vent? However, excision is still not recommended, because adenoids and tonsils are two immune organs of children. Once excised, upper respiratory tract infection becomes lower respiratory tract infection.

That is to say, when there are adenoids, the adenoids will play a role first when they encounter symptoms of inflammation. If this part is removed, it may directly cause bronchitis or pneumonia. So excision is not necessarily a good thing.

The doctor then gave a list of sleep and breathing monitoring. If it is mild obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, it does not need immediate surgery, if it is severe, it must be treated by surgery.

Pay an appointment to check the results. Thankfully, it's a mild syndrome. It's really a relief to take medication first.

In fact, there are only two kinds of drugs, one is mainly used to treat rhinitis caused by adenoid hypertrophy, and the other is used to improve immunity.

Later, I chatted with my colleagues and friends, and came to the conclusion that, firstly, we should keep warm to ensure that we don't catch a cold, and secondly, we should pay attention to our diet and try to be as dull as possible, especially at night, and bid farewell to big fish and big meat.

After careful reflection, I found that the biggest problem lies in diet. On weekdays, my mother-in-law cooks vegetarian food, while my children are picky eaters, so when time permits, I will stew meat at night, especially on weekends, at least once.

For children who are too young, it is recommended to eat as little stew as possible. Once food is accumulated, there will be internal heat, and the internal heat will first act on the adenoids and tonsils. For children who love constipation, food accumulation is a cancer.

For children with adenoid hypertrophy, dietotherapy can also be adopted, and taro is the most ideal. Eat about 2 grams a day, seasoning whether it is light, sweet, salty, dry steamed, stewed or boiled. Take it for 3-6 months. Followed by arrowhead, because the growth time is not long, the four seasons are unsustainable, and it is impossible to season. It is only cooked and eaten lightly, as well as kelp and jellyfish, which are also good medicinal foods for this disease.

PS: When chatting with people around us, I learned that some children had similar symptoms to our family, or even milder symptoms, but they were operated on. Especially in local hospitals, after basically reaching the condition of blocking 2/3, they will open a surgical list.

However, our children's lateral radiograph report on the back of the nasopharynx didn't specify exactly how much it was blocked, but according to our own calculation, it should be more than 2/3 blocked. Therefore, 2/3 is not a necessary condition for surgery, and it should be analyzed together with sleep breathing monitoring.

in a word, you should choose an authoritative hospital to see a doctor.

Postscript: After a lapse of one year and three months, I went to the hospital to take a film again, and the adenoids were only 1/3 blocked. I almost jumped with excitement when I saw the report.

For more than a year, we have paid special attention to children's health, exercised as much as possible, caught fewer colds and got angry less, and ate without accumulating food.

We don't strictly control the food, but we don't have to cram or feed the food, and let the children control it by themselves.
