Adenoid itself is a part of human immune tissue, which has some characteristics and functions similar to tonsil. Since it is responsible for human immune function, adenoids will not swell for no reason, since swelling will inevitably reflect the dysfunction of internal organs of the body. For children, adenoid enlargement is more related to low body resistance, especially lung tenderness and spleen and stomach weakness.

At present, the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in western medicine is surgical resection, while the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in traditional Chinese medicine is conservative treatment. The last time I was a guest at a friend's house, I no longer heard from my friend that his child's adenoidal hypertrophy had been treated conservatively, but was treated conservatively with the triple external application scheme of cereal, grass and Shi Jia, because the operation required general anesthesia, which had certain risks to the child. So many parents choose conservative treatment.
