How to use thuja oil to treat a child?
Adenoids are areas of lymphoid tissue that have grown in the nasopharynx. Most often, adenoids affect children aged 2-14 years. Enlarged tonsils disrupt the child’s nasal breathing, as the mucous membrane swells greatly.
In this case, the flow of mucus from the nose may not be observed, and the child will still breathe through the mouth. Other signs of adenoids in a child:
Headache.
Snoring during sleep.
Persistent nasal congestion.
Nasal.
Thick discharge from nose.
Cough that is worse at night.
Any rhinovirus infection has a long course and is difficult to treat. If a child has a set of these symptoms, then parents should take him to an otolaryngologist.
Another danger of adenoids is that they are a source of infection, which can lead to systematic intoxication of the body as a whole and lower its natural defenses.
In childhood, undertreated adenoids can cause the following health problems:
Hearing impairment.
Lag in speech development.
Pathological development of the bones of the face and teeth.
Frequent otitis.

Frequent catarrhal infections, their protracted course.
Lag in the school curriculum.
Nervous disorders.
There are three degrees of development of adenoids in a child. If the baby has the initial stage of the disease, then he breathes through his nose, but at night he switches to mouth breathing. The second and third degrees of the disease are characterized by severe nasal congestion, night snoring, daytime lethargy and irritability. With the third degree of adenoids, the child suffers from frequent acute respiratory viral infections, he may have serious hearing problems.
If adenoids have an uncomplicated course, then their treatment with conservative methods is possible. A small patient is sent to undergo physiotherapy, he is prescribed vitamins and immunostimulants. It is imperative to clear the nose of mucus, for which the nasal passages are washed with disinfecting solutions. Then, various drugs with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-edematous effects are injected into the nose.

Pressing pains in the nose and eye sockets, severe headaches, and an increase in body temperature will indicate sinusitis. The mucus discharged from the nasal passages has a yellow tint, which means the presence of pus in it. In this case, you need to contact an otolaryngologist as soon as possible.
