〔記者黃政嘉/新北報導〕一名8歲孩童小宇從小飽受鼻塞、呼吸不順困擾,就醫發現,原來他除了牙弓狹窄,同時患有過敏性鼻炎,且腺樣體肥大阻塞後鼻孔,僅矯正牙弓無法根除鼻塞,經腺樣體切除手術和微創下鼻甲減積手術後,解除造成鼻塞的主原,讓他的睡眠品質大幅提升,現在能夠正常生活、學習成長。

台北慈濟醫院指出,除了感冒,孩童鼻塞常見的原因包括過敏性鼻炎及腺樣體肥大,兩者常伴隨發生,若鼻過敏嚴重或反覆感染,可能使腺樣體長期處於發炎而肥大,進而阻塞後鼻孔,引發鼻塞。

該案家長起初以為小宇的狀況是天生牙弓狹窄、齒列擁擠所導致,到牙科接受上顎擴弓治療後,雖然白天呼吸有改善,但夜晚裡仍用口呼吸,且鼾聲明顯、睡不安穩,嚴重影響睡眠與生活品質。

台北慈濟醫院醫師許瑛倢表示,雖然過敏性鼻炎與腺樣體肥大可能隨年齡增長而改善,但成長期間若長期鼻塞、睡眠呼吸中斷或打鼾,可能影響睡眠品質,進而造成白天注意力不集中、容易生氣等情形,若長期以口呼吸,也可能影響顏面骨骼與牙齒咬合發育,像上顎牙弓變窄、暴牙、下巴後縮或臉型變長。

針對兒童過敏性鼻炎及腺樣體肥大,許瑛倢說,治療會依嚴重程度循序漸進,以非侵入性治療為優先,包括避免接觸過敏原、改善居家環境、使用空氣清淨機、除濕機,以及口服藥物或含類固醇鼻噴等方式控制發炎與過敏反應。

她指出,若保守治療效果有限,或因長期鼻塞、打鼾、睡眠呼吸中斷已明顯影響生活品質,則會透過鼻腔內視鏡、X光檢查,評估是否接受腺樣體切除手術,該術採內視鏡經口方式,以旋轉刀切除肥大的腺樣體,多數孩子恢復快速,醫師也會視情況建議同步施行微創下鼻甲減積手術,以雷射改善鼻甲肥厚,進一步提升鼻腔通氣;兩手術皆健保給付,自費耗材費用各約5萬元。

許瑛倢提醒,手術主要是改善鼻塞與呼吸道阻塞,無法改變過敏體質,術後仍須持續做好過敏控制,才能降低症狀復發機會,建議家長協助孩子減少接觸塵蟎等過敏原。

Open Questions

  • 手術後過敏性鼻炎的長期控制效果如何?
  • 是否有其他非手術療法可有效減輕腺樣體肥大症狀?

Taichung City’s primary and secondary schools implement a free nutritious lunch policy, but some parents reported that the ingredients login platform showed that the vegetables came from China, which raised food safety concerns.
