Treatment of enlarged adenoids by an old Chinese doctor

I believe everyone is familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a treatment method. Treatment methods are generally divided into two methods: Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine was developed in my country, while Western Medicine was introduced from foreign countries. Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment methods are generally divided into acupuncture, massage, and Chinese medicine, etc. Adenoids enlargement is a disease of our human body, but it can be treated through Traditional Chinese Medicine. So how do old Chinese medicine doctors treat adenoids enlargement?

The adenoids are located at the junction of the top and posterior walls of the nasopharynx, between the pharyngeal recesses on both sides. Generally speaking, the adenoids, like the tonsils, are part of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring. It exists at birth, is most obvious at 6-7 years old, and gradually shrinks after 10 years old. Therefore, acute adenoids often occur simultaneously with upper respiratory tract infections such as acute pharyngitis and acute tonsillitis. When the tonsils are acutely inflamed, they become congested and swollen, and the adenoids also become congested and swollen. When the tonsillitis is controlled and subsided, the tonsils and adenoids also shrink.

For children with adenoids hypertrophy, under what circumstances should conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine be considered? The general conservative treatment in Western medicine is nasal spray of hormone drugs, such as Nasonex. Oral anti-allergic drugs such as Singulair and Claritin syrup can be used. If there is sticky purulent nasal discharge, it can be treated with Oronma drops, physiological sea saline, etc. Some people have enlarged adenoids, and the symptoms are usually not serious. However, once they catch a cold and have a runny nose with sticky purulent mucus, the symptoms will worsen. At this time, using Chinese medicine to control rhinitis and sinusitis will significantly reduce nasal congestion and snoring, and the adenoids will also shrink.

Enlarged adenoids are often accompanied by allergic rhinitis, or the symptoms are usually itchy nose, sneezing and clear runny nose, which turn into purulent nasal discharge after catching a cold. At this time, Chinese medicine treatment can control the allergy and inflammation, thereby alleviating the symptoms and shrinking the adenoids.

Physical conditioning for adenoids hypertrophy is suitable for daily maintenance treatment of children. In addition to the symptoms of adenoids hypertrophy, there is no inflammation in the upper respiratory tract. Chinese medicine for expectoration and softening of hard masses also has a certain effect.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of adenoids hypertrophy still requires holistic dialectics, while taking into account the local "phlegm stagnation and qi stagnation" characteristics of the adenoids, conducting comprehensive analysis and individualized prescriptions.
