Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear.
In my opinion it would have been gone by 6 years,if they are still causing problem in sleep ,you should consult an ENT specialist to get them removed.
Still i would advise to try some home remedies like 1 tablespoon of honey in a glass of luke warm water once a day. Avoid cold and sour drinks like soda,soft drinks,tamirind,vinegar etc
Avoid candies and ketchup as well.
I would advise you to give her some good anti-histamines like levo-cetrizine at night and also tab. monteleukast 5mg at bed time for about 3 months.
Hope it will help.
wishing your child good health :-)
