Complex Therapy of Adenoiditis in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

Upper respiratory tract infections occupy a leading place in the structure of morbidity of the child population. In recent years, there has been a tendency to increase the incidence of adenoiditis in children. This article describes in detail the features of the etiology, clinical picture, differential diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The role of lymphoid formations in the formation of local immunity of the upper respiratory tract is presented. The authors emphasize the need to expand indications for conservative methods of treatment and they warn against carrying out unreasonable surgical interventions. Conservative treatment of adenoiditis should be comprehensive, including irrigation therapy with isotonic solutions of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, local and systemic antibacterial therapy. Particular attention is paid to the use of mucolytic drugs. The effectiveness of an expectorant phytopreparation with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial action, which helps to reduce the viscosity of sputum and its better discharge, is shown.

Objective: Complex therapy of adenoiditis in children and adolescents.
