SNORING: Cold, nasal blockage, narrowing of nasal passage due to swelling of inner lining or mucous, enlarged tonsils/adenoids cause noisy breathing, snoring. Other cause can be anatomic abnormality of facial bones/nasal canal etc. Check nostrils with pen light, if see mucous, suck with bulb syringe; if thick, put 3-5 drops nasal saline, then suck. Check with the pediatrician to rule out any abnormality.
