A member asked:
My son has cold because his nose tonsils are big so what can i do for him at home?

Large tonsils: Your child does not have a cold because of his large tonsils although a cold can temporarily enlarge the tonsils. Enlarged tonsils and adenoids can make your child sound nasal. If there is chronic snoring, he may need to be evaluated for sleep apnea.
