What is adenoiditis and its treatment regimen

Adenoiditis (enlarged adenoids) is a disease that occurs in many children after the 1st year of life. Adenoids in a child is a physiological process characteristic of childhood. The nasopharyngeal tonsil protects the body from invading bacteria and viruses, but its enlargement leads to adenoiditis.

As you know, there are 3 degrees of adenoids. And often it is possible to cure adenoids of the 1st degree, avoiding surgical intervention.

The otorhinolaryngologist selects a treatment regimen for adenoids in children on an individual basis.

Certain therapeutic solutions for instillation into the nose are necessarily prescribed, and homeopathic preparations or physiotherapy procedures (UHF on the nose area, UVI), laser therapy or acupuncture are also possible.

In addition, it is necessary to adhere to a general strengthening vitamin therapy in parallel.

in the treatment of adenoiditis it is important to restore nasal breathing. Thanks to the procedure of regular washing of the nose, a good effect can be achieved. To do this, it is enough to prepare a water-salt solution and, using a syringe without a needle or a small syringe, inject a little solution into each nostril of the child.

For those who do not want to prepare solutions on their own, there is a great alternative: pharmaceutical preparations based on sea / ocean water in bottles with a special dispenser. So, the usual scheme of therapeutic therapy for adenoiditis is as follows.

Nose instillations

For these procedures, the following drugs are suitable:

• lymphomyositis,
• protargol,
• collargol,
• tea tree oil,
• decoction of coltsfoot (noticeably facilitates breathing).

Drugs should be alternated (1 month for each drug).

To prepare a "medicine" based on tea tree oil, dilute one part of the oil in four parts of olive oil and instill 1-2 drops in each nostril.

Nasal lavage

For this procedure, saline solutions, ocean / sea water, chlorophyllipt solution are used. Warm infusions / decoctions of herbs are also effective: calendula, succession, chamomile.

To wash the nose, it is necessary to lay the child on the barrel and, using a syringe / syringe without a needle / a bottle with a dispenser, pour / inject the selected agent alternately into each nostril.

Physiotherapy

The otolaryngologist, as a rule, prescribes electrophoresis and ultraviolet irradiation for the child.

Strengthening immunity

Along with vitamin complexes, they are necessarily prescribed, which help the child's body to resist infectious diseases.

In addition to drug treatment, gymnastics aimed at strengthening the muscles of the larynx, a properly composed diet, and singing help in the fight against adenoiditis.

saline solution

Dissolve half a teaspoon of sea salt in 1 cup of warm water. Rinse your nose with this solution.

For washing the nose, a decoction based on herbal collection, consisting of thuja, oak bark, eucalyptus leaves, is also effective as a treatment for adenoids.

Herbal decoction

It is necessary to take herbs (thuja, oak bark, eucalyptus leaves) in equal parts and grind them into a fine powder, then pour 1 tablespoon of the resulting herbal mixture with 200 ml of boiling water and hold in a water bath for 3-5 minutes.

After that, strain the decoction and apply to rinse the nose. It is important to wash the nose with this decoction 2-3 times a day.

Anti-inflammatory collection

A special anti-inflammatory collection cleans the nose well. It is necessary to prepare herbs (sage, chamomile, oak bark), brew 1 tablespoon of their mixture with 1 glass of water, then strain and rinse the child's nose with this decoction.

Kalanchoe juice

To effectively remove mucus from the nose, you can use Kalanchoe juice. To prepare the "medicine", it is necessary to dilute the Kalanchoe juice with drinking water at room temperature in proportions of 1: 1 and instill a few drops into the spout into each nostril.

For the treatment of adenoids in children, preparations for instillation with antiseptic and drying properties are also needed. Such antiseptic properties have fresh beet juice, which has an astringent effect.

Fresh beet juice

It is necessary to mix fresh beetroot juice with clean drinking water at room temperature in proportions of 1:1. This "medicine" is used for instillation, and is also used as nasal drops (2-4 drops in each nostril 1-2 times a day).

Is an operation necessary?

Treatment of adenoids in children can be both conservative and surgical.

To know for sure whether an operation is required or whether medical treatment is sufficient, you need to show the child not only to an ENT doctor, but also to a pediatrician, an allergist, an immunologist. They will prescribe the necessary examinations (for example, tomography, x-ray of the pharynx, rhinopharyngoscopy).

Specialists will help to find and eliminate the cause leading to an increase in the tonsils.

Surgery to remove adenoids is called an adenotomy. It is one of the shortest of all possible operations in surgical practice, as it lasts only 2-3 minutes.

An operation will be needed only if (even with I and II degrees of adenoids) if the child has serious complications: severe difficulty in nasal breathing, recurrent and exudative.

Parents often ask the question: is it necessary to teach a child to crawl if he does not want to? We offer video and

The purpose of the operation is not determined by the degree of adenoids, but only by the condition of the baby. If the child has grade III adenoids (2/3 of the opening into the nasopharynx is closed), but there are no complications, and the child breathes and hears perfectly, then there is no need for surgery.

In this case, the child is taken under control, and he will need to regularly once a year or more often, if the pediatrician deems it necessary, undergo examinations by an otorhinolaryngologist.

When is Adenoid Removal Necessary?

• severe difficulty in nasal breathing, in which there is an insufficient supply of oxygen to the child's body,
• maxillofacial anomalies (incorrect bite formation) caused by overgrown adenoids,
• exudative otitis (a disease due to which mucus accumulates in the cavity of the middle ear, which leads to hearing loss).

Laser treatment

Absolutely harmless and enough an effective way of therapy considered, in which inflammation and swelling of the adenoid tissue decreases.

In addition, laser therapy improves local immunity and provides an antimicrobial effect.

Operation

It is necessary to prepare for the operation by passing the necessary tests. The child must be healthy for at least 3 weeks before the removal of the adenoids. The operation is usually performed in the morning, on an empty stomach, under local or general anesthesia.

After the operation, the child is placed in an inpatient department, where it is desirable to spend 1 day so that the doctors can monitor his condition. In case of an atypical reaction to any drug, the child will be given emergency help.

The postoperative period will require increased care and attention to the child from parents. There is no reason to worry if the child has a fever after the operation.

Also in the first days after the operation, the following reactions can be observed:

• moderate abdominal pain
• stool disorder.

These symptoms pass quickly.

Parents take note! After the operation, it is recommended to feed the child only soft food at room temperature for the next 4-5 days. Suitable cereals, liquid vegetable / fruit / meat purees, creamy soups.

Within 3 weeks, the child is forbidden to visit the bath or sauna, sunbathe in the sun, dive into the water, and it is also necessary to avoid any physical exertion.

Folk remedies for the treatment of adenoids

In some cases, it is possible to treat adenoids in children with folk remedies, but it is imperative to consult a doctor and get his approval.

Folk methods include washing and instillation of the nose using baking soda or sea salt, infusions or decoctions of medicinal herbs. Saline solution can be easily prepared by yourself at home.

Misjudgments about adenoids

The child often gets sick due to enlarged adenoids

Exactly the opposite. Not an increase in the nasopharyngeal tonsils leads to frequent SARS, and the more often the baby suffers from respiratory diseases, the more the lymphoid tissue increases, which becomes the main cause of the growth of adenoids.

Adenoids will grow back if removed at a very early age

This is due not to the age of the child, but to the quality of the operation performed and the presence / absence of allergic reactions after removal of the adenoids.

Adults do not face the growth of adenoids

As a child grows older, the size of the head increases, and the pharyngeal cavity becomes larger in comparison with the tonsil. Therefore, adenoids decrease with age, and disappear during the period of hormonal formation of the body.

An adult does not experience severe shortness of breath, but there are frequent cases of removal of adenoids in adults.

Preventive measures

From inflammation of the adenoids, simple rules and instructions will help.

So it follows:

• Take more walks with your child in the fresh air, choosing forest and park areas for walking. It is advisable to walk in any weather before going to bed.
  Before going outside, it will be useful to constantly lubricate the child's nose with oxolin ointment.
• Carry out wet cleaning in the house every day, or, in extreme cases, once every 2 days.
  It is necessary to regularly carry out cross-ventilation of all rooms, and also to minimize the presence of dust collectors in the house: carpets with long pile, fur toys, books on open shelves, numerous knick-knacks in the form of photo frames, souvenirs.
• Boost your child's immunity accustoming him to physical activity, water procedures in cool water, classes on the Swedish wall ...
• Organize your daily routine. The child should go to bed on time in the afternoon after dinner and go to bed in a timely manner in the evening.
  Also in the evening it is important to limit outdoor and noisy games.

We wish you strength and patience in the fight against this disease!

An otolaryngologist tells about the factors in the development of adenoids in children and methods of treatment.

Adenoids are a kind of tumor, an increase in lymphoid tissue located in the nasopharynx on the back of the nasal passage.

The size of the tumor can grow so much that it completely closes the opening of the Eustachian tube, which connects the throat and middle ear.

Adenoids are often referred to as a lymphoid tumor, or nasopharyngeal tonsil. Similar symptoms occur in children under the age of 8 years. In a healthy state, the amygdala provides protection against infections.

During puberty, the pharyngeal tonsil decreases and may disappear altogether with age. But if it increases at an early age in children, there is a very small chance of self-reduction, without medical intervention.

Rarely, adenoids occur in adults.

Symptoms and consequences of adenoids

The main symptoms include:

• Constant difficulty breathing
• frequent headache,
• profuse and frequent discharge from the nose,
• partial loss or hearing loss,
• cough,
• night snoring.

This is a rather serious pathology that makes it difficult to breathe, and sometimes completely makes it impossible to breathe through the nose. As a result, there is a chronic runny nose, tonsillitis, bronchitis, lung diseases due to poor ventilation, chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, partial hearing loss, constant lack of oxygen, which in some cases leads to partial brain hypoxia and mental retardation.

It is difficult for the patient to breathe and his mouth is constantly ajar, which leads to a change in the shape of the face and deformation of the bite.

The disease has three stages of development

• Difficulty breathing through the mouth only at night, no negative symptoms are observed during the day.
• There is snoring in a dream and labored breathing for 24 hours.
• The size of the tumor is so large that it completely blocks the flow of oxygen through the nose into the windpipe, breathing becomes impossible.

People at risk

Nowadays, quite often adenoids are diagnosed in adults. Previously, it was considered a childhood disease until the age of 14. Symptoms of the onset of pathology in adults are no different from children.

There is a chance that adults will get sick if:

• In childhood, the disease was diagnosed, provided that the adenoids were surgically removed.
• As a consequence of another disease (severe and prolonged runny nose, allergic rhinitis or sinusitis).

If a pathology is detected, surgical intervention is necessary.

There are a number of specific factors prohibiting the removal of adenoids:

• Infectious diseases, after which a long rehabilitation period is required
• Diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system
• Pathology associated with blood
• During a viral infection

Treatment of adenoids with folk remedies

There are several ways to overcome ailments:

• surgical intervention,
• hemopathies,
• with a laser,
• as well as folk remedies.

In this article we will consider the treatment of adenoids with folk remedies.

One of the methods of treating adenoids with folk remedies is nasal lavage.

Using simple nasal irrigation procedures, in most children, the nasopharynx returns to normal. Before using any means and procedures, the first step is to clean the nose using saline solutions, or purchased sea water.

Children at an early age do not always react positively to such procedures, but it is impossible to force water to be poured, because at the time of hysteria or crying, the nasal canals are significantly narrowed, which will not give the desired result.

The solution for washing the nose must be based on boiled settled water, you can add honey or table salt to it.

To 1 glass of water, add 1 teaspoon of honey or salt with a few drops of iodine. The temperature of this mixture should be slightly warm (25-30 degrees).

Adults, or older children, can independently suck up water from the palm of their hand; for small children, a rubber syringe is used.

In addition to the treatment of adenoids, such procedures are carried out for preventive and therapeutic purposes with rhinitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis.

Nasal rinse method

Older children are able to draw the solution from the palm of each nostril in turn, it will slowly flow down the back wall of the nasopharynx, then it will need to be spit. Such repetitions must be done at least 10 times for each nostril.

Another way is to use a syringe with a large syringe or a specially designed syringe with a soft rubber tip.

How it's done: above the washbasin or in the bathroom, tilt your head down, slightly open your mouth, insert the tip into the nostril a few mm (try not to stick it far so as not to damage the mucous membrane) and sharply press on the balloon or syringe plunger. There should be a strong enough jet that will come out through the mouth. Then repeat the procedure with the other nostril.

For a better hit of the mixture, you can turn your head at the time of douching in one and the other direction, respectively, of the nostril.

Often, small children are pipetted, using saline, or sea water, tilting their head slightly back and holding it in this state for several seconds until the liquid drains into the throat.

Is it worth removing adenoids in a child, and in what cases

Even with a disease, it is necessary to keep them as long as possible, since they are involved in the formation of immunity up to 5-7 years.

Remove only when absolutely necessary:

• snoring in sleep
• loss of (partial) hearing,
• difficulty or lack of nasal breathing
• chronic otitis,
• chronic bronchial asthma.

Prior to surgery, it is necessary to use all of the above traditional medicine treatments, as well as medications.

These agents include: albucid, sofradex, pinosol, protargol, oil based on thuja tea tree. It is necessary to use both drops and the inhalation method.

It should be remembered that adenoids in children decrease, or disappear altogether, until puberty, that is, starting from 9-10 years.

For a quick cure, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise and harden the body, eat the right food from natural ingredients.

If this did happen, and removal was necessary, how the patient should behave.

Children, as a rule, are allowed to go home a few hours after the operation. This is not considered a complicated procedure, everything is done under the influence of local anesthesia. But parents are obliged to carefully monitor the child for several days, regularly measure body temperature.

Unlike children, an adult body requires a longer rehabilitation and wound healing. Patients are forbidden to engage in any exercise and sports for at least 1 month, stay at too low and high temperatures, visit a bathhouse, solariums, smoke and suffocating rooms.

Nutrition can be highlighted. After removal, there is still a wound in the nasopharynx, which can easily become inflamed when exposed to allergens and irritants.

Food should not be spicy, salty, sour. It is necessary to use small pieces. It is forbidden to be too hot and cold.

Use products such as cereals, dairy products, jelly, broths, the temperature of which does not exceed 30-35 degrees.

Be careful when taking antibiotics, be sure to consult your doctor first. For example, taking aspirin can cause bleeding.

After removal, for 2 weeks, you need to rinse your nose with salt water once a day, or sea water as a preventive measure, in order to avoid complications and the reappearance of adenoids.

After 2 weeks, the wound should almost heal and gradually you can eat all the food.

In addition to the treatment of adenoids with folk remedies, a number of other methods are used, which we will also briefly discuss.

Surgical intervention

Parents in every possible way avoid surgical intervention and try by any means to cure the pathology. But at certain sizes, removal is inevitable, otherwise the tumor will completely block the airways. This formation is not puffiness, which can disappear in a day, but is formed from the tissue and only increases with untimely treatment.

But the doctor makes a decision to remove only under certain conditions and after all previously performed procedures, such as:

• Respiratory failure, both during sleep and daytime
• Complication in the form of rheumatism, arthritis, vasculitis
• Constant difficulty breathing through the nose
• Ineffective treatment with conservative methods, as well as folk remedies

Often, even after the operation and incomplete removal of the adenoids, repeated relapses occur.
The younger the age, the more likely it is to relapse. Children under 3 years of age are not recommended for surgery.

Treatment with homeopathy



This method is quite effective, but requires an individual approach and good qualifications. If the doctor chooses the right homeopathic remedy, the likelihood of recovery is extremely high.

The appearance of adenoids is primarily provoked by a weakening of the immune system, and this drug strengthens the immune system, thereby preventing the progression of the tumor.

The first positive bell in the treatment, it became easier for the patient to breathe, and the percentage of infectious diseases also decreased.

Sometimes the composition of the drug includes a substance that narrows blood vessels, such drugs are strictly prohibited for children. As a result of excessive intake, the child constantly wants to sleep, the pulse and breathing quicken, the skin becomes pale.

Pharmacies now sell many drugs in the form of sprays that are used for stuffy noses. Their main purpose is to reduce the allergic reaction and resist the inflammatory process. One such drug is Nasonex.

laser therapy



Modern medicine often uses laser therapy in its practice. A doctor using a laser beam directly affects the tumor, reducing reporting, relieves inflammation by direct exposure to blood vessels, normalizes the immune system.

After such sessions, breathing is restored and well-being improves. As a rule, such actions are carried out in 2-3 stages.

The last stage prevents inflammation in the nasopharynx. But this method cannot be considered completely effective, since the laser is not able to reduce the size of the adenoid.

In parallel with laser therapy, it is necessary to use other means of treatment, the beam only facilitates breathing. Often, laser therapy is prescribed every year for several sessions. That is why this method cannot be considered as an alternative to surgical intervention.

Adenoids is an inflammatory process of the nasopharyngeal tonsil, which has a bacterial form. Most often it develops in children from 3 to 10 years old and manifests itself in the form of snoring, mucous discharge from the nasopharynx. An untreated pathology can not only lead to various complications: diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems, rheumatism, heart disease, but also weaken the child's immunity. In our article, we will look at what medications help with adenoids.


Scheme for the treatment of adenoids 1 and 2 degrees

Each stage of the disease is treated differently. As a rule, the 3rd degree is treated promptly, drugs are used only at the recovery stage. Therapy is carried out in the vast majority of cases in a conservative way. However, some specialists prefer not to carry out medical intervention, expecting that when the child grows up, the problem will disappear on its own.

But such measures in relation to children of 3-4 years old are unacceptable, since with complicated immunity, colds often occur, as a result of which the vegetation of lymphoid tissue occurs.

The most common therapeutic actions include:

Grade 2 is not always carried out in a conservative way, because in some cases, based on the severity of the disease and the condition of the child, doctors strongly recommend surgery. Usually drug therapy is carried out according to the following scheme:



Antibiotic therapy

Antibiotics for adenoids are most often recommended for a complicated stage of the disease. When prescribing this group, it is necessary to take into account which antibiotic was last used so that addiction does not occur. Usually, the following groups of antibiotics are prescribed for the treatment of adenoiditis:




Other drugs for the treatment of adenoids

Treatment of this pathology is impossible without the use of drops that have a local effect. Usually, doctors prescribe the following drugs in drops for the treatment of adenoids:




Separately, it should be said about aminocaproic acid, which, when instilled into the nose, has an antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, antitoxic effect. This tool is available in the form of injections, solution and granules. Aminocaproic acid helps well with adenoids of 1 and 2 degrees, it slows down their vegetation.

With adenoiditis, it is necessary to alternate the instillation of the solution with inhalations.

For 1 inhalation, 2 ml of the prepared solution should be used. This drug disrupts the interaction of the virus with the body. Aminocaproic acid is injected into the nose, 3 drops in each nostril up to 4 times a day until the signs of the disease disappear.

Inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids) entails the appearance of an unpleasant, difficult-to-treat disease - chronic adenoiditis. Most often, inflammation of the adenoids affects children from one year to 15 years. There are several stages of the disease. At the initial stage, folk treatment of adenoids in a child is effective. It is important to start therapy as soon as possible to avoid complications.

Tonsils are the “guardians” of the human body, including nasopharyngeal lymphoid formation in childhood and adolescence. The protective ring delays the infection on the way to the nasopharynx, releases phagocytes (disinfecting cells). Sometimes the organs fail to cope with pathogenic bacteria, then the person becomes ill. In this case, lymphocytes are connected, with their active production, the tonsils increase.

When the disease passes, the dimensions return to their original form. True, for this, the tonsils need some time. With frequent colds, infections, they do not have time to return to normal, they again produce lymphocytes, while increasing in size. Methods of treatment of adenoids depend on the severity of the disease and the sensitivity of the patient's body.

With adenoids that are constantly inflamed, they grow in the nasopharynx. This is fraught with the appearance of diseases such as:

• inflammation of the middle ear, respiratory tract,
• rachiocampsis,
• violation of the normal functioning of the kidneys,
• lingering runny nose,
• bed-wetting.

There is also a change in occlusion, impaired diction, breathing through the mouth, and a sonorous voice. “How to cure adenoids?” - this question is relevant for many parents and some adult patients.

Treatment Methods

Non-surgical and surgical methods of treating the disease are used. Do not be afraid if the doctor insists on removing the adenoids surgically. Usually this method is an extreme measure, without which a complete recovery will not work, and medicines or folk remedies will not only not alleviate the condition, but will also aggravate it. Without tonsils, a person is quite capable of living a long, fulfilling life. Modern doctors are trying to cure adenoids in a child conservatively, which is possible thanks to early diagnosis.

If the doctor is sure that you can do without surgery for a complete recovery, he advises non-surgical options. Traditional medicine in the treatment of inflamed enlarged adenoids offers drug therapy, physiotherapy, the use of a laser beam, and breathing exercises. These methods are able to reduce swelling, which improves nasal breathing, reduces inflammation and brings the tonsils to the proper size.

Folk remedies are also good, their effectiveness in combating inflammation of the adenoids has been proven by many years of practice. But it is worth remembering that before using any prescription, it is better to consult with your doctor in order to avoid possible unpleasant consequences. Parents often worry about how to treat adenoids in children.

To normalize nasal breathing, reduce swelling of the mucosa, treatments will help - drugs with a vasoconstrictor effect, for example, vibrocil, galazolin, xylene. They are used for up to one week, a long period can contribute to damage and drying of the mucous membranes. To begin with, the nasal passages are thoroughly cleaned of mucus, and then the medicine is dripped 1-2 times (for each nostril).

After waiting for some time, to eliminate bacteria and microbes, "Protargol" or "Bioparox" is instilled (first you need to clean the nasal passages a second time after using drugs with a vasoconstrictor effect).

Chronic adenoiditis requires the use of antihistamine (antiallergic) drugs. Often successfully complements the conservative therapy of adenoids in children, treatment with folk remedies, an indispensable stage of which should be vitamin therapy. It will increase immunity and strengthen the overall resistance of the body to diseases, as well as ensure the supply of nutrients.
