My five year old son froths at the mouth while sleeping, he also snores very loudly. It has always been like this. Since his father also does this I thought it was hereditary but now I m becoming worried cause I ve noticed that he is very nasal for the past two weeks. He doesn t have the cold and there isn t anything flowing from his nose. Can you help me figure out what s going on with him please.
Hello. I just read through your question. Loud snoring is not considered a problem unless you notice periods of 20 seconds or more that breathing stops. If this happens, it could be due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids. This is something that should be managed by a Pediatric ENT. I recommend consulting your doctor, so the appropriate plan can be implemented.
