A Report on External Therapy Nursing for a Pediatric Case of Adenoid Hypertrophy
This article summarizes the nursing experience of treating a child with adenoid hypertrophy using nasal scraping massage and press-needle therapy. Guided by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, the child's quality of life and sleep-related symptoms were assessed through questionnaires, while targeted nursing interventions were implemented based on X-ray findings. The combined application of nasal scraping massage and press-needle therapy effectively alleviated symptoms such as nasal congestion and snoring. Follow-up X-ray revealed a reduction in the adenoid-to-nasopharyngeal (A/N) ratio from 0.82 to 0.65, significantly improving the child's airway patency and alleviating parental anxiety.
