During the holidays, many parents choose to take their children to the hospital for tonsil or adenoidal hypertrophy. According to statistics, during the winter vacation of more than one month, the pediatric ENT outpatient clinic of Shandong ENT Hospital received more than 1,000 cases of tonsillar hypertrophy and adenoidal hypertrophy, of which more than 300 cases underwent surgical treatment.
Tonsillar hypertrophy and adenoidal hypertrophy are common and frequent diseases in children, common symptoms include nasal congestion, sleep snoring and open mouth breathing, severe sleep apnea, sleep breath holding, etc., Mr. Wang's two sons have related symptoms.
Mr. Wang's family is from Rizhao, the eldest son Zhe Zhe is 8 years old this year, and the second son Hehe is 4 years old this year. According to Mr. Wang, the eldest son began to snore about a year ago. "For more than a year, the boss snored at night, his voice was not small, and sometimes he woke himself up, and the quality of sleep was particularly poor." Regarding the children, he and his wife are very careful. After discovering the problem, Mr. Wang took his eldest son to the local hospital for examination in time. On examination, adenosine was diagnosed with tonsillar adenoid hypertrophy.
"Tonsillar hypertrophy" has been heard, but "adenoidal hypertrophy" is relatively unfamiliar. Mr. Wang carefully opted for conservative treatment, temporarily controlling symptoms through medication. However, after a year of medication, the eldest son's symptoms were still not fully controlled. Not only that, but the second son Hehe also had the same symptoms, even more serious than zhezhe!
"The second brother also sleeps and snores, opens his mouth to breathe, and often wakes up at night, but the situation is much more serious than the boss." Mr. Wang said, "Since the eldest son found out that the tonsils were adenoidal hypertrophy, we began to pay attention to this problem, and slowly, we also realized the seriousness of the matter." ”
Soon after the second eldest had relevant symptoms, Mr. Wang took the child to the hospital again for examination. After examination at the local hospital, Hehe was also diagnosed with tonsillar adenoid hypertrophy, which was more severe, and the doctor recommended the removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids. My mother and I are very cautious about our children, let alone surgery. We discussed it for a while, and finally decided to come to Jinan, after all, Jinan's medical resources are better. Moreover, Shandong ENT Hospital is a very authoritative ENT specialist hospital, and it is more reassuring to operate on children here. ”
After coming to Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital, in order to be safe, Mr. Wang asked Tian Jiajun, director of the Department of Pediatric Entolaryngology, to examine both children. As he expected, although the symptoms of the elder zhezhe were not as serious as the symptoms of the second elder, it had also reached the point of affecting the development of the body. Mr. Wang and his lover decided on the spot to let the two children undergo surgery at the same time. ”
