Proper treatment of adenoiditis in children

Almost every cold, ARD or ARVI is accompanied by a runny nose. This is a natural process, so the self-cleaning of the body occurs, but at the same time a runny nose requires increased attention. Running rhinitis can develop into a complication like adenoiditis. If the time does not respond, then treatment of adenoiditis in children may result in surgery.

Adenoids consist of lymphatic tissue, its cells participate in the formation of immunity. Therefore, today few doctors insist on their mandatory removal, even if the palatine tonsillitis is very often inflamed.

If the adenoid growths have reached quite large sizes and nasal breathing due to this becomes practically impossible, the hearing worsens, bronchitis appears, then there is no way to do without surgical intervention. But if the adenoid tissue is inflamed and there is relief after the inflammation is eliminated, then there is no need for surgery.

So, one child with adenoid degree II breathing is not difficult, and the other has a worsening of hearing when a violation of the I degree. The operation is appointed in the case when doctors perform a full examination of the child and test various types of treatment. And only after making sure that none of them is ineffective, after consulting with several specialists it is necessary to decide on the operation.
