Hi... I understand your concern. By what you say I feel that your child might be having moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis along with an upper airway resistance syndrome.

Previously the only treatment for upper airway resistance syndrome used to be surgery or adenotonsillectomy.

But now advanced the modalities of treatment have come up, like intranasal steroids which can be given up to a period of 4 to 8 weeks and after which many kids are recovering without the need for surgery. This treatment will take care of the moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis also.

But this technique of administration of intranasal steroids is very important and should be talk to you by your pediatrician properly.
