Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy help children end 8 uncomfortable symptoms in the nose for a long time

Completely eliminate 8 years of discomfort in just 30 minutes

That is the case of LAQ, 11 years old, living in Hanoi. About a year ago, the child showed uncomfortable symptoms. His parents were worried and took him to many places for treatment, but the symptoms only subsided and quickly relapsed.

Children with prolonged sore throat, parents should be aware of the cause due to adenoids and tonsils

When taking the child to the doctor, the patient's parents complained that for nearly a year the child had continuously shown 8 unusual symptoms including: Sore throat with cough, stuffy nose, runny nose. In addition, the child had difficulty swallowing, snoring, had a few apnea episodes of about 10-15 seconds when sleeping, had light sleep, and could not concentrate on class due to lack of sleep.

Receiving the case, specialist BSCKII. Nguyen Chi Anh - ENT specialist, MEDLATEC General Hospital, former Head of ENT Department, Military Hospital 354 (Ministry of National Defense) with nearly 30 years of experience, indicated for the child to perform ENT endoscopy. Endoscopy results diagnosed: Adenoid-Tonsil hypertrophy. Due to grade IV adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy covering the posterior nasal opening and throat area, the child often sniffles, has difficulty swallowing, snores, and has upper respiratory tract infections.

After that, the specialist advised and explained to the patient's parents about the way to completely treat this condition by endoscopic surgery to curettage adenoids - tonsillectomy.

Dr. Nguyen Chi Anh said: Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy are performed under general anesthesia lasting 30-40 minutes. The doctor then performs the surgery through the mouth and nose, so there are no incisions on the face or neck. After the surgery, the child wakes up from anesthesia, is taken to the post-operative room for monitoring for 1 hour, and is discharged home 1-2 days after the surgery.

As if finding “the light at the end of the tunnel”, the patient's family completely agreed to let their child be treated with endoscopic adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy.

On August 7, 3 days after the patient's surgery, the patient's parents shared with great joy: "My family would like to thank the specialist for accurately diagnosing and treating my child, as well as the doctors and nurses who were always dedicated and enthusiastic in helping my child throughout the process. My family is extremely happy because today, 3 days after the surgery, my child still has less pain, but all the signs of discomfort after the past year have completely ended."

Why do adenoids and tonsils need to be treated thoroughly?

Adenoides and tonsils are lymphoid tissues located at the junction of the pharynx. The tonsils are oval-shaped masses of pink tissue on both sides of the throat. Adenoides are triangular masses of lymphoid tissue located in the submucosa of the roof of the vault and the posterior wall of the nasopharynx, above the uvula and behind the nose.

Adenoides and tonsils play an important role as “police” to protect the body against respiratory infections. However, if adenoids and tonsils recur repeatedly and are not treated promptly, it can lead to unpredictable consequences such as:

• Obstructs the child's breathing, causing the child to breathe from the mouth, snore, and even stop breathing while sleeping.
• Frequent brain hypoxia will negatively affect children's physical and intellectual development, learning quality and behavior.
• Large adenoids: Affect the child's sense of smell, respiratory system, and immune system
• Enlarged adenoids: Can cause blockage of the Eustachian tube, leading to ear infections, sinusitis, hearing loss and affecting language development

In addition, recurrent adenoids and tonsils create a hiding place for bacteria, from which they can attack other organs such as the nose, throat, ears, larynx, heart, kidneys, etc.

When is endoscopic tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy indicated?

To overcome the above situation, Dr. Nguyen Chi Anh noted: Children who often have rhinopharyngitis, stuffy nose, snoring, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing while sleeping... need to see an ENT specialist for examination and treatment.

If the child has been treated with multiple courses of internal medicine without response, it is necessary to decide on endoscopic surgery to curettage the adenoids and tonsils to completely resolve the medical condition.
