How can I tell if a child has adenoids?
Understand that the crumbs have just begun to grow adenoid vegetations by the fact that the child does not breathe at night, and during the day he does not experience breathing problems. The main features of this situation are:
- the cub is sleeping with an open mouth;
- the child does not breathe through the nose during sleep, snores and snores.
- the baby complains of nasal congestion after sleep.
It is very important to visit a doctor at the first stage of adenoid enlargement. During this period, there is a high probability that the crumb will not need surgery, but only the right drug treatment.
But the reason why a child breathes with his mouth, and not with his nose during the day and at night, may be the second and third degree of enlarged adenoids. In this case, the nasal passage is blocked by 2/3 or completely, which can cause severe discomfort in the baby. As it does not sound sad, but at these stages, as a rule, surgical intervention is prescribed.
Causes of repeated proliferation of adenoids
If a crumb is prescribed an operation, his parents are always warned that factors that triggered an increase in adenoids, after their removal, should also be eliminated. After all, if a child does not breathe a nose, because he is allergic to the pet's hair, then a secondary increase in vegetation will very soon follow. In addition, it is very important in the first year after removal of adenoids not to be ill with colds, and also to clear your house of tobacco smoke to the maximum and get rid of objects that collect dust (carpets, soft toys, etc.). It is worth remembering that if a child is removed adenoids, and the nose is not breathing, but there are no irritating factors in the house, then this may be a symptom of pollinosis (seasonal allergy), in which antihistamines should be prescribed.
Treatment of enlarged adenoids
At the first stage of the disease, doctors tend to struggle with this ailment with homeopathic medicines.
So, if a child has enlarged adenoids and does not breathe a nose, the sooner you start correct treatment, that there is a greater chance to avoid surgical intervention. In addition, it is very important to get rid of irritating factors, because if you do not, then in a couple of years you will face the direction for a second operation.
