Abstract:

Adenoid hypertrophy is a common disease during childhood, and the incidence has been increasing in the recent years, which seriously affect the children's growth and psychological development. Therefore, non-surgical treatment is very important. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has achieved great success.Through analyzing the etiology and pathogenesis of adenoid hypertrophy in children and based on the children's pathophysiological characteristics, the treatment methods and principles are formed in clinical treatment, which provides evidence for making prescriptions and choosing drugs. Meanwhile, attention is paid to the differentiated treatment and the treatment of both symptoms and causes; different treatment is given at different stages of disease. Following the concept of wholism and green medicine and based on the clinical mechanism of combined internal and external treatment in TCM, the Chinese medicines, medicinal congee, blood-letting puncture and cupping, indirect moxibustion and massage are effectively combined to reduce the adenoid body and make the recurrence unlikely. This practice makes it possible to avoid surgeries, and the children and their parents are willing to accept. It increases the clinical effect of TCM treatment for children with adenoid hypertrophy, provides a new way of clinical treatment for adenoid hypertrophy in children, and is worthy of clinical promotion. A medical record is attached for verification.
