It had been shocked an hour before. that night and every night since then his nose closes up and he breaths thru his mouth, his nose does not run but stays stopped up. in the last few days he has started swollowing air and now burps and passes gas constintly. what is going on. I called in to drs office today but no return call back. thanks in advanced for any help you can give me. Val
