Adenoids, or adenoid growths, are a pathology associated with an increase in the pharyngeal tonsil. This disease is predominantly childhood and reaches its peak development at the age of 4 to 7 years.
If adenoids progress to 2-3 degrees, specialists most often recommend surgical treatment. After surgery, nasal breathing generally returns to normal, but this type of therapy does not guarantee the absence of relapses in the future.
In addition to surgical intervention, there are several ways to treat adenoids. Among them are laser and homeopathic treatment, in particular, the use of thuja oil.
