My son is 3 years old has recently been in hospital with pneumonia but recovered very well. The last 2 days he as been coughing again, chest sounds clear, however he has started snoring really loud and I m now noticing White throth coming from his mouth while he is sleeping. Please tell me if this is normal I m taking him to the doctors tomorrow to be on the safe side. But I m very worried.

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Snoring could be due to enlarged tonsils or adenoids.
There may be congestion in his throat mostly an allergic one.
Watch carefully for any hurried breathing, fever, respiratory difficulty.
The white discharge from his mouth is due to sputum which is coming out by cough.
Get him examined his throat and lungs.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
