Adenoids (Adenoid Vegetations)

There is pain when swallowing, profuse salivation and a characteristic odor from the mouth.

Diagnosis of adenoids is carried out using pharyngoscopy (examination of the pharynx using a special instrument) and radiography of the nose and pharynx.

Treatment of adenoids can be conservative or surgical. Conservative treatment includes the use of local anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor drugs, physiotherapeutic procedures, regimen and diet aimed at strengthening the immune system. Surgical treatment includes removal of the adenoids (adenotomy), which is performed under general anesthesia.

After adenoid removal, recovery is usually quick and children return to normal life. However, like any operation, adenotomy can be accompanied by a number of complications, so it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations after the operation.

Overall, adenoid disease is a serious problem for children and can significantly reduce the quality of life of children. Therefore, it is important to undergo regular medical examinations and consult a doctor at the first signs of illness. Timely identification and treatment of adenoids can significantly improve the child’s health and prevent the development of serious complications.
