Mgt: A nasal steroid and saline rinses can alleviate the symptoms. If it persists, he may need a sleep evaluation.

Common at 6: The tonsils and adenoids tend to grow faster than the kid until age 6-8 when they stabilize. After 10 or so most grow faster than these glands and by 16 they are similar to the relative size they were in infancy.If the kid has periods of not breathing more than 15 sec during sleep, he heeds to see an ENT, if not treat the symptoms and let him grow out of it.
