The view of Dr. Komarovsky

The famous pediatrician Komarovsky believes that the therapy of acute adenoiditis can take place in a homey environment. But only in this case it is necessary to comply with all the prescriptions of the doctor. For the treatment can use a variety of medications, and even folk medicine. At the direction of the otolaryngologist, an individual therapy regimen is prescribed. It determines the doctor taking into account the symptoms, well-being and other features of the body.

Dr. Komarovsky recommends that parents give their consent to an operation to remove adenoids. But it is necessary to perform it in the syndrome of apnea. Then the breathing is slowed down for 5-10 seconds. With such a delay, the child's condition deteriorates sharply. Surgical intervention should be performed with exudative otitis. It can cause a lot of mucus in the middle ear. This leads to hearing loss. The pediatrician Komarovsky advises to carry out treatment of adenoids at formation of jaw strains and at a malignant tumor.
