Brief Summary

Budesonide is one of the most common drugs uesd in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical responses including 9 symptoms (hard to awaken, witnessed apnea, breathing difficulties, snoring, sweating, mouth breathing, awakenings, restless sleep, wetting the bed)1 month

Children's parents will be required to complete a questionnaire about 9 symptoms at diagnosis and after 1 month of therapy. Answers were scored are on a scale of 0 = never to 4 = most of the time.

Adenoid Size1 month

Children's adenoid size will be estimated from lateral neck X-ray film based on the adenoidal/nasopharyngeal ratio and from nasal endoscopy based on the ratio of adenoid blocking posterior nostril. Lateral neck X-ray film and nasal endoscopy will be performed before and after the 1-month course.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lung function1 month

Children's airway ventilation function will be estimated from lung function examination based on the FEV1/FVC value.

Tonsillar Size1 month

estimation of oropharyngeal examination before and after the therapy.

Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire(PSQ) Score1 month

Children's parents will be required to complete the PSQ questionnaire at diagnosis and after 1 month of therapy.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Questionnaire(OSA-18) Score1 month

Children's parents will be required to complete the OSA-18 questionnaire at diagnosis and after 1 month of therapy.

Polysomnography1 month

Children's sleep will be estimated from polysomnography based on the apnea-hypopnea index, obstructive apnea index, time with oxygen saturation below 90% and minimum oxygen saturation value.

Nasal nitric oxide1 month

Children's nasopharyngeal inflammation will be estimated based on the nasal nitric oxide value.
