A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. The crowding of the back of the mouth may be related to these symptoms. Does she snore? With growth the space often enlarges and the symptoms are relieved. Her temperature should be monitored and a throat infection considered. Nasal saline often is effective in reducing nasal congestion, post nasal drip. Discuss the need for further evaluation.

My 9 yr old daughter has difficult breathing when asleep and foams at her mouth. She has nasal polops which we believe might be causing the problem. What can we do for her? Would this also be the cause of bed wetting?
