Child having severe respiration problem. Is this a adenoid problem?
Answered by
My daughter will be 3 in the coming March 2013. She is extraordinary and extra active. Now a days she has severe respiration problem, always she breaths through mouth only. Is this a Adenoid problem? She is my little XXXXXXX and I always scold her to close her mouth. Please let me know I need to show my baby to an ENT?
Good morning!
Mouth breathing in your child may be due to two problems
1- nasal block
2- adenoid enlargement.
Nasal block can result from either infections,or allergy or anomalies of the nasal septum.
Adenoids enlargement can cause noisy breathing and snoring.
Normally all kids have some enlargement of tonsils ,adenoids and lymphatic tissues in the body between 3-5 years and then they will regress in size..
So have your child evaluated by the ENTdoctor and the Pediatrician to decide the treatment.
If the basic problem is allergy the treatment is different and surgery can be avoided.
God luck
God bless

MD Hello Doctor, my son 8.5 yrs old suffering from breathing problem from last 7.5 yrs. He had undergone adenoids and tonsils operation 2 yrs back. Still he raises his head every now & then for gasping. He can not stand straight even for 0.5 minute , he needs to bend his neck in backward direction to reduce congection in his neck. He always complaint of having pain in the neck near throat. I have shown this to many doctors, MRI scanning of his brain , barium swallow tests is done, neurological test and sight tests are also done All tests and reports are normal.

But now a days frequency of his raising head for gasping has been drastically increased. He is in 3rd std. now. Though is bright student at school , he losses concentarion because of this health problem. Please help Regards, Kishor Sonawane 0000
MD Respected sir, My 4year old daughter who weighs 19kg is suffering from Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction which a Doctor adviced to go for probing of left sided NLD. When went for a second opinion an other Doctor said that its too late to go for probing bcos her bone has grown and tissues are strong enought that probing will not help. The only solution is surgery. Her CT Scan also revealed that she has PARANASAL SINUSES which says septum is in midline. Mucosal thickening in bilateral maxillary and bilateral ethmoid sinuses Non pneumatised bilateral frontal sinusess Bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy Both infundibulae/OMC obstructed Hypertrophied adenoids narrowing the nasopharyngeal airway Motion artifacts noted. Could you please tell whether its emergency and surgery is needed at once?
