My two year old son has foam coming out of his mouth while sleeping, and he also snores. It sometimes sounds like he gasps for air.. What can this be? I am desperately worried and my sons pediatrician says it s normal for that to happen and he just has an allergy which is the cause for his snoring. What should I do??
Hi... I have just read through your query. By what you quote I feel that your kid is having upper airway resistance syn Chat Doctor.  I agree that it can happen in allergy, but allergy cannot be the only reason for this. The most common reason for this is enlarged adenoids and tonsils which might require adenotonsillectomy. I suggest you consult a pediatric ENT surgeon regarding this. The other option is using intranasal steroids for 4-8 weeks and decide on further management based on the treatment response. Regards -
