Yes you may need: ' Making ' sounds while breathing ' means you have some air way obstruction , this could lead to dangerous complications . As you are only 16 yr old ( minor ) with your parents guidance decide or can get a second opinion and see the medications ( antibiotics , antihistamines etc ) may help to shrink them ten decide Don't worry you will be fine Good Luck
