At what age can adenoids hypertrophy heal itself?

Adenoids hypertrophy is a glandular disease. Sometimes it suddenly occurs in children. This disease can heal itself. However, it is only limited to children. This is a transitional stage. Many people may be very anxious when their children have adenoids hypertrophy. In fact, there is no need to worry at all. However, most people do not know at what age they can heal themselves. So at what age does adenoids hypertrophy heal itself?

Adenoids, also known as adenoids or pharyngeal tonsils, are a mass of lymphoid tissue located at the top of the nasopharynx, that is, behind the nasal cavity and above the pharynx. Under normal circumstances, children's adenoids hypertrophy period is between 2 and 10 years old. They reach their maximum at the age of 6, begin to shrink after the age of 10, and disappear around the age of 13. When the upper respiratory tract is infected, the adenoids may become inflamed and enlarged. In childhood, due to repeated upper respiratory tract infections or other reasons, the adenoids become chronically inflamed and proliferate, which we call adenoid hypertrophy.

The common cause of this disease is repeated inflammation such as acute and chronic rhinitis, tonsillitis, influenza, etc., which causes pathological hyperplasia of the adenoids. This causes worsening of nasal obstruction and obstruction of nasal drainage. The secretions from rhinitis and sinusitis in turn stimulate the adenoids to continue to proliferate, forming a vicious cycle of cause and effect. This disease often has a family history.

The adenoids are a type of lymphatic tissue. Adenoids hypertrophy is a disease unique to children and most cases cannot heal themselves. The most common cause is excessive hypertrophy of lymphoid tissue after viral or bacterial infection. Children with low or disordered immune function, allergic constitution, and especially children with allergic rhinitis will have enlarged adenoids. Regular drug treatment and surgical treatment are the most effective treatments for adenoids hypertrophy. If two to three months of drug treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. Low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation is a commonly used surgery for adenoids hypertrophy.

Surgical removal of the adenoids can be performed at the same time as tonsillectomy, or separately. Those who are not suitable for surgery can consider radiotherapy (but it is rarely used). In recent years, some people believe that plasma therapy can be used to treat adenoid hypertrophy. The method is simple and causes minimal pain. Adenoids hypertrophy in children is a common disease in children. The system is caused by adenoid hyperplasia. It is necessary for parents to understand adenoids and their relationship with children's professional diseases.
