Mgt: It can occur, especially in the early post operative period. Were his tonsils also removed? There are many areas of the airway that can contribute to snoring. Usually a nasal steroid is prescribed to reduce nasal swelling. A virtual consult is available on line www. healthtap,com/DosanjhMD Code; NCYHPZ
