Managing adenoid hypertrophy (enlarged adenoids) depends on the severity of the symptoms and the underlying cause. Here are the main approaches:
1. Observation: If the adenoids are enlarged but not causing significant symptoms, a watchful waiting approach may be recommended.
2. Medications:
– Antibiotics: If a bacterial infection is causing the enlargement, a course of antibiotics may be prescribed.
– Nasal Steroid Sprays: These can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms like nasal obstruction.
– Homoeopathic: Symptomatic Homoeopathic Medicine.
3. Surgery (Adenoidectomy): If the adenoids are causing significant symptoms such as chronic nasal obstruction, recurrent ear infections, or sleep disturbances (like snoring or sleep apnea), surgical removal of the adenoids may be necessary.
4. Managing Underlying Conditions: Addressing allergies or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can also help reduce adenoid size and related symptoms.
Regular follow-ups with an ENT specialist are important to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
