A member asked:
My child snores badly and breathes through her mouth and has restless nights every night. am i able to request that her adenoids be removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an ENT doctor: or your pediatrician first. Your child will need to have an evaluation first, either by an ENT exam looking at the size of the adenoids with a special scope and/or a sleep study done by a sleep specialist.
