[|Human|] Hi, my son is 3 years old and my dr. couldnt tell if he has mono or not, but every time he have a nap or go to sleep he snorts so hard and sweets and also wake up screeming in pain, like a headache or something Do I should take him to the Dr.? or hospital?
[|AI|]  Hello dear!. I would like to have a detailed history regarding the symptoms your child a mouth breather? Do you have a family history of asthma and allergy? The symptoms which you have told possibly suggest your child has adenoid hypertrophy.It's not the usual age for adenoid removal. Till then, you have to treat him symptomatically. Give him a good anti histamine like Levocetrizine 5 ml at night, montelukast sachet 4 mg, dissolved in water, give at night (both these for 3 months). Keep his head a little higher and place a pillow below neck to keep airway open to make his breathing comfortable. You can also try some home remedies like one teaspoon of honey in a glass of Luke warm water given once a day. Give normal saline nebulization or steam inhalation at bedtime. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health :-)
