Adenoiditis is described as the hypertrophy of the lymphoid tissue layer of the
lining of the nasopharynx (pharyngeal tonsil of Luschka), occurring in children.
It is most often accompanied by an infection of the lymphoid tissue.
SYMPTOMS
AND SIGNS
- Hypertrophy of the adenoids prevents the child from breathing
normally
through the nose.
At night, he / she will snore, will have sleeplessness / insomnia,
night
terrors, or enuresis.
The child's pronunciation is defective and the voice seems nasal. In
infants,
this discomfort can prevent feeding.
-
Infection of the adenoids or adenoiditis can take two forms:-
In acute
adenoiditis, there is nasal obstruction, fever and often acute otitis;
Chronic
adenoiditis which is responsible for frequent colds, ear disorders (simple or
suppurative otitis media), bouts of laryngitis, tracheitis and recurrent
bronchitis, impaired general condition (anorexia, fatigue, weight loss,
unexplained fever), digestive disturbances (caused by swallowing phlegm) or
developmental disorders of the chest.
DIAGNOSIS
The examination of the nasopharynx can confirm the presence of adenoids
and the
character of infection.
TREATMENT
The adenoids may be surgically removed (adenoidectomy) under general
anesthesia,
regardless of age, unless it is an acute attack.
Homeopathy for enlarged adenoids
Surgical
operations are often advised, but it is not a definite solution to the problem
- mouth breathing and other symptoms don't stop. Fortunately, homeopathy can
help. Homeopathic treatment offers a very safe and effective way to cure
enlarged adenoids and tonsils and can save the little ones from the surgeon's
knife.
Homeopathy
is a type of natural medicine used to treat various symptoms. This medicine has
slowly risen in popularity over the years, making it now the second most common
form of medicine used in the world.
In
a typical case of homeopathic healing, a person's symptom totality will be
treated. It follows nature's rule, so it never admits removal of any part,
organ or gland of the body as a cure, which means the healing will restore
health - removing the adenoids will not help.
If
you are going to remove the adenoids or tonsils, it is just like removing the
guards who often get attacked first (by infections in this case) while
safeguarding us, which is not a wise decision.
Homeopathic
philosophy has always stood by the view that whenever possible, the tonsils and
adenoids should be saved as they are an important defence tissue of our body
and provide children with the much required immunity.
