Enlarged adenoids - a common problem in young children. How are they treated?
Why do they grow?
Adenoids increase in response to frequent respiratory infections. Because,
on the one hand, adenoids - a body defenses. On the other - a
kind of "Training Grounds" for the immune system. For
each agent is formed its own immunocompetent "cellular response." With
frequent infections of lymphoid cells migrate here, as a result - swelling of
the adenoids. But
even increased, they still continue to work - and to train immune cells and
provide primary protection against upper respiratory tract infections outside.
Let it grow?
Parents are faced with a problem with your child's adenoids, the first
thing to understand what to do. First of all, you cannot
"leave things as they are." Adenoids
- not an independent body, as part of the pharyngeal lymphoid ring, which
includes the entire "network" tonsils. Their
overall well-being depends on the work of upper respiratory tract infections. With
adenoids inflammation can go to any part of the lymphoid ring. As a result - if
not otitis, chronic rhinitis it. Tubarnoy
or chronic inflammation of the tonsils, which do not have any access at all. And even it cannot be
removed surgically.
About the risk of errors
It is believed that the child adenoids "outgrow". Yes, indeed, "grow". But
steadfastly enlarged adenoids - it is always the inflammatory focus. If
this hotbed of doing nothing, the infection from it will go around the lymphoid
ring. The child
will not get out of the disease. Even if the adenoids are slightly reduced...
Another error - the deletion. It is also
related to parental position to do nothing. And many doctors do not
offer anything else. Forgetting,
however, at the same time say that the adenoids are increasing against the
background of frequent respiratory infections. If the
adenoids are removed, less frequent infections will not. And
how to remove those completely physically impossible, while maintaining
frequent respiratory infections, they will rise again - for 2-6 months. Even one of the remaining cells...
Finally, adenotomija - after surgery. Possible complications. In particular,
death - 1 in 35,000. For
reference: the polio vaccination mortality - 1 in 3 million
The question of the removal of the adenoids can and should be decided only
after the suppression of the inflammatory process! In
other words, the doctor decides to this inflammatory process - and in most
cases, removal is simply not necessary. Modern
otolaryngology are increasingly inclined to favor the conservative treatment of
adenoids.
Whether to wait for a miracle?
Conservative treatment is not fast - it takes at least 2-3 months. Its
effectiveness depends on the attitude of the parents, and the preparation of a
specific doctor. For
example, if your child as the main recommended homeopathic treatment or
anti-inflammatory and antibacterial sprays, "miracle" cannot wait. Sprays are not
"finish off" to the inflamed adenoids. "Children"
as homeopathy is aimed at strengthening the lymphatic drainage. Including from the adenoids. Unfortunately, in 90% of cases,
they do not decrease.
In the treatment of "children's" adenoids much depends on the
"maturity" of independence parents. The child is often sick? Is it not the result of a
chronic infection? Which one? For the answer - the first
thing an immunologist!
No chronic infection? Excellent. Under
the supervision of a pediatrician doing activities that enhance the barrier
function of the body. In
parallel, looking for "their" ENT doctor.
The treatment process
Reduce the adenoids - is, first of all, to suppress inflammation. We need
anti-inflammatory, anti-infective agents. These
shall be taken directly to the surface of the adenoids. See how
to properly bury the money, should a doctor. Another
option - use special sprays for nasal - they are sold.
Be sure to rinse with which pus is removed from the surface of the
adenoids. Two
methods: "cuckoo" (washing the nasal and paranasal sinuses method of
travel) and nasopharyngeal shower. In both cases, need a doctor. Irrigate
home "Dolphin" - means to drive the pus deeper.
In the treatment of adenoids cannot do without physical therapy. Of
all her ways are only those that can be delivered to the nasopharynx. Suitable quartz, but at
the same time in the nose and throat. Or
laser therapy - the addition of the fiber through the nose into the nasopharynx.
Moreover,
these procedures should be doing audiologist, not a physical therapist.
