A few days ago, I had a follow-up visit with one of my children. This is a person who has gone through two months of **Adenoid hypertrophy decreased from 3 to 4 to 031。
During this process, our medical staff put in great professionalism and effort to solve her adenoid hypertrophy problem. We have a deeper understanding of her conditionTherefore, a more suitable ** plan was formulated for her.
In the process, we also noticed that many children, including hers, faced similar adenoid hypertrophy issues.
This problem can lead to a series of harmsIncluding adenoidal facies, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, secretory otitis media, etc.
Therefore, we remind parents to pay special attention to their children's sleep, and if they find any symptoms in their children, they should take their children to the hospital for examination and **.
Dr. Kim is here today to explain in detail how adenoid faces are formed and the specific characteristics after formation.
Adenoid face is mainly due to adenoid hypertrophy.
An adenoid is a tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity, between the nasopharynx and the middle ear cavityIt is essential for the normal development of the child's nose and respiratory system.
When the adenoids become enlarged, they can block the back of the nostrils, causing the child to have a stuffy nose, which is the main cause of the formation of the adenoid face.
Because children need to breathe air, they are forced to open their mouths to breathe in order to be able to breathe smoothly.
However, prolonged mouth breathing causes airflow to impinge on the hard palateThe child's face is deformed, the face is expressionless, the eyes are dull, the root of the child is sunken, the nasolabial fold becomes shallow, and the nose tip becomes flat and short. This process is known as "adenoid facies".
The main features of the adenoid face include:
1.The face is expressionless, the gaze is dull, the sub-roots are sunken, and the nasolabial folds are shallowThe nose becomes flat and short.
This is because breathing through the mouth prevents the maxillofacial muscles from contracting and relaxing effectively, resulting in stiffness of the facial muscles.
2.The lower jaw is retracted, the hard palate is arched, and the jaw is elongated.
This is due to increased pressure on the maxillofacial bones caused by airflow through mouth breathingLeads to deformation of maxillofacial bones.
3.Misaligned teeth, protruding upper incisors, thickened lips.
This is due to the increased pressure on the teeth caused by the airflow being breathed through the mouthThis results in misaligned teeth, protruding upper incisors, and thickened lips.
When the adenoid face is formed, parents need to pay special attention to the changes in their children. Because once the adenoid face is formed, it is difficult to recover.
If your child has symptoms such as breathing through the mouth and snoring while sleepingIt is important to investigate the cause and intervene as soon as possible.
Because these symptoms may be caused by adenoid hypertrophy, if not timely**, it may lead to children's facial bone development disorders, poor breathing at night, endocrine dysfunction, causing growth and development disorders, mood changes, night terrors, teeth grinding, night sweats, bedwetting and other symptoms.
Therefore, parents need to pay attention to their children's adenoid healthEarly detection of the problem, carried out** to avoid the formation of adenoid facies.
According to TCM, the root cause of adenoid hypertrophy is caused by the rise of heat in the lungs and stomach.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, from birth, the spleen function is often insufficient, and the liver function is often vigorousThis can lead to a further decrease in spleen function, which eventually leads to problems in the lungs, which is the root cause of adenoid hypertrophy.
Problems with lung function can lead to the occurrence of various respiratory diseases, such as cough, asthma, bronchitis, etc. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, non-drug methods such as regulating the spleen and stomach, removing phlegm and dampness, such as traditional Chinese medicine decoction, acupuncture, massage, etc., will be used to improve the problem of adenoid hypertrophy.
At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the importance of post-operative care and dietary adjustmentFor example, it is necessary to keep warm, avoid dust and odor irritation, avoid greasy and irritating food, exercise properly to enhance physical fitness, and pay attention to children's mental health.
As we all know, "spleen and stomach" is the foundation of the acquired in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the spleen is the main transport, and the stomach is acceptedIf the child's spleen and stomach health are safeguarded, then there will be no problems with growth and development.
In this way, parents need to help their children develop good habits and eating habits in daily life, such as ensuring sleep time, exercising appropriately, paying attention to daily diet, eating more vegetables and fruits, and eating less cold food.
In addition, you can also regulate the spleen and stomach by massaging the Panmen acupoint, so as to further protect the child's health.
At the same time, under the guidance of the doctor, combined with the anti-inflammatory, soft and hard dispersion effects of traditional Chinese medicine, the adenoid hypertrophy will naturally slowly shrink, and the child's body will return to health.
