Abstract
Adenoid hypertrophy is one of the most common conditions seen in ENT/Pediatric OPD and the most important cause of impaired nasal airflow and nasopharyngeal obstruction. The estimated prevalence rate of Adenoid hypertrophy in children and adolescents ranges from 42% to 70%. In Ayurveda, adenoid hypertrophy can be well correlated with Kanthashaluka, based on the marked similarities of the clinical features of these two disease entities. As per Ayurveda, specific treatment protocol can be applied in the form of topical treatment along with internal medication to manage this condition. In this article an attempt is made to understand the etiopathogenesis of Kanthashaluka w.s.r to Adenoid hypertrophy and to reveal role of topical treatment along with internal medication.
