Summer is here, and more and more people are bringing their children to see a doctor.
A 5-year-old girl suffered from noisy ears and pain from time to time. Her speech was unclear. Her mother took her child to see a doctor during the holiday. The examination revealed that the child had secretory otitis media . Generally, children of this age often suffer from secretory otitis media due to tonsils and adenoid problems. I asked a few more questions. Sure enough, my mother said that the child has had severe runny nose and nasal congestion since the beginning of winter this year. I always sleep with my mouth open at night, and the cold medicine no longer works.
Then check the adenoids. Sure enough, the child's adenoids were pathologically enlarged, and the enlarged adenoids blocked the choana and compressed the Eustachian tube, leading to the coexistence of sinusitis and secretory otitis media. Children usually suffer from severe nasal congestion, runny nose, snoring while sleeping, mouth breathing, pharyngeal discomfort, and unclear speech and enunciation.
Based on the child’s condition, I suggested that she undergo simultaneous low-temperature plasma adenoid ablation and tympanic membrane tube placement. The energy of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency is used to ablate adenoid diseased tissue at a plasma low temperature of about 40 degrees to restore normal ventilation of the nasopharyngeal cavity. At the same time, the fluid in the middle ear is drained out to balance the pressure in the inner ear and outer ear .
Adenoid problems block the choanal nostrils and compress the Eustachian tube, causing ear and nose problems.
My mother still trusted me because she had seen a doctor before. She went through the hospitalization procedures on the same day and cooperated with the treatment.
surgery adopts a minimally invasive method, using endoscope for the entire treatment, which can magnify the diseased tissue hundreds of times and make the surgical field clearer, ensuring the safety of the operation and reducing risks.
After the operation, the little patient recovered very well.
"I used to call "Grandma" "nao nao". Two days after the operation, we taught him several times and the pronunciation was accurate. We never thought before that he couldn't speak clearly because he couldn't hear clearly." On the day he was discharged from the hospital , the child’s mother came to the clinic again and told me excitedly.
