What is adenoid hyperplasia?

Adenoid hyperplasia, also known as adenoid hypertrophy, refers to enlargement or swelling of the lymph glands at the top and back of the mouth called adenoids. Excessive adenoid growth may occur for several different reasons. Treatment usually depends on the severity of the condition and partly on its cause. Adenoids are small when the child is born, grows during childhood, achieves full size in late childhood or early adolescence and then begins to shrink again. Large adenoids are common and normal in childhood and many cases of adenoid hypertrophy disappear with age. Adenoid hyperplasia sometimes occurs when a child has recurrent infections, such as sinus infections, ear infections or strepe in the throat. Tear people increase to better fight infection, and may not be fully reduced again. If a child has many infections, the cumulative effect of this growth pattern may lead to sufficiently large adenoids to cause problems.

symptomsAdenoid hyperplasia involves problems with nose breathing, snoring or recurring or long -term nasal overload. In the case of acute infections, adenoid hyperplasia is often concentrated with tonsillitis because swollen and inflamed almonds are easier to see than adenoids. Children who have had very enlarged adenoids for a long time can develop changes in voice and facial elements caused by constant breathing in the mouth.

Surgery is sometimes necessary for adenoid hyperplasia and was once a treatment for this condition. It is now known that almonds and adenoids play an important role in childhood immunity, and the medica -inbores try to avoid their removal unless the symptoms are severe, chronic or other treatment. Surgery, called adenoidelectomy, is often combined with tonsillectomy or removal of almonds. Adenoids can be seen mirror and/or surgical imaging tools and then removed by the mouth.

If adenoid hyperplasia is not sufficiently serious to guaranteeIt has surgery, there are other options. Herbal treatment can help in the functioning of the immune system and calm the inflamed glands. Antibiotic treatment is used to combat basic infection before adenoids are too large. Food allergies can cause recurring infections or reactions of the immune system and thus eliminate the food in question often solve the basic problem.
