Signs of adenoids in children

Parents who have never had an affair with an inflammation of the nasopharyngeal tonsil can long time unsuccessfully treat a protracted runny nose and perpetual colds without even suspecting that the child has enlarged adenoids.

It's not a secret that not everyone turns to the otolaryngologist for help, but is observed at the pediatrician or is engaged in self-medication. How can you not miss this disease and prevent him from moving into a serious form?

Symptoms of inflammation of adenoids in children

At the very beginning of the disease, colds with a runny nose follow one after another, preventing the body from recovering. Parents persistently treat sopelki all available methods, but no improvement is observed. Then under suspicion allergy comes in and antihistamines are used, but the rhinitis does not recede.

In some cases, after the termination of a cold liquid discharge from the nose there, but nasal breathing is absent - the child is forced to breathe through the mouth and day and night. During sleep, snoring begins , which is often accompanied by a temporary stop of breathing and a stagnation of the tongue. And this is a serious reason to apply to a specialist.

Children with a stuffy nose suffer from headaches, wake up sluggish and apathetic, some have increased pressure, because they hardly rest at night, and therefore irritable and whiny.

If the initial signs of inflammation of the adenoids in the child are not taken into consideration and time is lost, complications begin to develop in the form of otitis and, as a consequence, a decrease in hearing. Constant inflammation in the ear, throat and nose reduces its acuity, and then completely can deprive the child of the opportunity to hear.

Due to the fact that the baby does not hear well, he becomes inattentive to the treatment of parents and teachers, the attention is diminished and the child is hardly given any intellectual activity. Not the least role in this is hypoxia - oxygen starvation, which has a destructive effect on the brain.

The most severe signs of an increase in adenoids are changes in the structure of the face - the upper jaw is stretched, the lips are constantly open, the roof of the sky becomes an acute dome - an "adenoid face" develops, the expression of which looks distracted and indifferent.

Since the constant inflammation present in the body is reflected in all organs, the gastrointestinal tract can be affected in time, anemia occurs, asthma attacks and laryngitis occur. Young children learn to speak with difficulty, and their speech is nauseous. In time, non-invasive treatment harms the whole growing body as a whole.
