Dear Sir/Madam,Our child is diagnosed with adenoid enlargment problem in her airway. We hope to find out possible treatment solution at your esteem hospital. Hope to hear from you as soon as possible.Thank you
I'm sorry to hear about your child's adenoid enlargement. Adenoids are lymphatic tissue located in the back of the nasal passage and can cause breathing problems when they become enlarged.
Treatment options depend on the severity of the symptoms and may include:
1. Medications: In some cases, antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and infection.
2. Surgery: If the symptoms are severe and persistent, adenoidectomy (surgical removal of the adenoids) may be recommended. This is a common and safe procedure that is often done in children.
3. Home remedies: Keeping the air moist with a humidifier, ensuring good hydration, and using saline nasal sprays can help relieve symptoms.
If the above measures do not improve the symptoms, we can refer to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist assess wether adenoid removal is indicated surgically or otherwise.
