A member asked:
8 month old has hay fever. sleeps with open mouth. should i be concerned and when should i take him to ent specialist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If he is snoring more than 4 nights per week, a sleep study may reveal the cause and is often related to upper airway obstruction. Nasal congestion may be treated. Confirm allergies with testing, avoid common allergens such as dust, mold, pet dander and smoke exposure. Discuss pediatric allergy medications including an antihistamine, nasal steroid and nasal saline with your pediatrician.
