Is the child's adenoid hypertrophy caused by irritation from rhinitis secretions?
There are many causes of adenoid hypertrophy in children, and not all of them are caused by irritation of rhinitis secretions. Common clinical causes include physiological factors, non-pathological factors such as pathogenic microbial infection, and pathological factors such as allergic rhinitis and acute upper respiratory tract infection.
1. Non-pathological factors
1. Physiological factors: If the child is young, the adenoids will gradually increase with growth and development, generally reaching the maximum volume at the age of 4-6 years, and then begin to shrink. At this time, no special treatment is required, and attention can be paid to maintaining indoor air circulation in daily life;
2. Pathogenic microbial infection: such as rhinovirus, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and other pathogenic microbial infections, which can lead to nasal mucosal congestion and edema, thereby affecting the normal physiological function of adenoids and adenoid hyperplasia.
It is recommended that parents take their children to the doctor for examination in time, and after a clear diagnosis, follow the doctor's instructions to use amoxicillin granules, ribavirin tablets and other drugs for anti-infection treatment.
2. Pathological factors
1. Allergic rhinitis: If the child is prone to allergies, when exposed to allergens such as pollen and dust mites, it may induce allergic reactions, and then sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it will be accompanied by loss of smell. If you don't take aggressive steps to treat it, it can lead to adenoid hypertrophy. It is necessary to stay away from allergens immediately, and if necessary, you can take loratadine syrup, levocetirizine hydrochloride oral solution and other drugs to relieve symptoms;
2. Acute upper respiratory tract infection: usually caused by viral infection, mainly manifested as nasal congestion, watery nasal discharge, sore throat and other symptoms, if not actively and effectively treated, it may develop into adenoid hypertrophy.It can be treated with drugs such as compound aminophenamine capsules and oseltamivir phosphate granules under the guidance of a doctor.
In addition, it may also be caused by tonsillitis and other reasons, it is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital in time to choose targeted methods to improve according to different causes. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold.
