What is proliferative hypertrophy?

Polyplastin hypertrophy is a common disease among children. When children suffer from this disease, they will have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, snoring during sleep and hearing loss. In general, children are more likely to suffer from this disease when they are around 6 years old. During this period, if parents find that their children have some of the above symptoms, they should take the children to the hospital for treatment in time.

What is proliferative hypertrophy?

Adenoids hypertrophy is the pathological proliferation of adenoids, also known as adenoids or pharyngeal tonsils, which are the lymphoid tissue at the top of the nasopharynx. They gradually increase in size after birth, reach their maximum size at about 6 years old, and begin to gradually degenerate at the age of 10. The cause of the disease may be due to repeated infections, which can cause abnormal proliferation of the proliferative body. The swollen proliferative body can cause otitis media and otitis drainage obstruction, leading to rhinitis and sinusitis. When the Eustachian tube is blocked, it is easy to cause otitis media. Due to mouth breathing, children are prone to respiratory tract infections. Long-term mouth breathing can affect the development of facial bones and affect the physical and intellectual development of children.

Treatment of proliferative hypertrophy

In normal people, the proliferative bodies are very large when they are 3-4 years old and are not considered pathological. They often gradually shrink and disappear after puberty. If the adenocarcinoma becomes enlarged and has obvious clinical symptoms after the age of 5, it is often the root cause of many pediatric and otolaryngology diseases. For example, due to the hypertrophy of the proliferative bodies, nasal ventilation and sinus drainage are blocked, which can induce rhinitis and sinusitis and aggravate them. In addition, the increased secretions of sinusitis stimulate the proliferative bodies and make them further hypertrophic. In this way, the two are mutually causal, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, patients with leukoderma hypertrophy and obvious symptoms should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. The earlier the surgery is performed after the age of 5, the better the effect. Symptoms can be significantly improved or disappear, and development and nutritional status can return to normal.

Methods to relieve proliferative cell hypertrophy

1. When a child's condition is related to allergies, reduce or eliminate irritants in the environment to make the child comfortable. For example, electrostatic air filters can reduce dust or fungus in a room.

2. A humidifier can prevent your child's mucus from thickening. Using a humidifier with a humidistat can ensure a constant humidity in the air, and the humidifier can be purified before and after use.

3. Decongestants found in over-the-counter medicines can provide temporary relief.

4. Chicken soup helps to clear blocked nasal passages.
