As you said your son is having allergy,have you got tested ?
you go for blood for Eosinophilia which also cause respiratory problem.
As your son takes his breath through mouth,it can be due to enlarge adenoids.
Take opinion of ENT sp and go for his advice.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum
There are two things to be understood here:
1. Your child is having allergic rhinitis
2. Adenoid hypertrophy
The adenoids as such will be enlarged in the children, if the child is exposed to recurrent upper respiratory tract infection, the enlarged adenoids will never shrink causing much more difficulty.
In this case the adenoid enlargement has to be graded and depending upon the grading the doctor will decide whether the child can really benefit from the surgery or not.
Secondly, there is no cure for allergy only certain preventive measures can give relief from allergy. Any more doubts you are welcome.
Regards

MD My son, who is 7 years old, has enlarged adenoids after being diagnosed by an ENT specialist who had an X-Ray taken for him. We took him to see an ENT specialist because he snores at night and has trouble breathing through his nose. Since he is taking other medication the ENT specialist advised us to come back in a week s time, to put him on a medication, probably to see if his swelling responds to medication before a surgery to remove the adenoid is recommended. Question: Is there a way to pre-empt or minismise the adenoid from swelling in the first place through other supplements which will complement the adenoid in combating the bacterias, virus, etc that come through breathing. In addition, it is good to know if these enlarged adenoids are the cause of unhealthy activities or bad hygienic practice of my son? By the way, are there any side-effects on my son after an X-Ray is performed on him? Thanks Kelvin

MD aWent in the 22nd to urgent care for what I thought was strep throat. I initially had a very faint sore throat the Friday before and each day got worse and worse. Finally on Tuesday it just blew up and fever was involved so I went to urgent care. No phlegm, coughing, runny nose, just a very bad sore throat with white spots on my very swollen tonsils, fever, chills, body aches and stiff neck. Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen. Yesterday called and said I was not getting better. I was intact getting worse in which the nurse said strep culture was negative. Since Wednesday, on top of a very bad sore throat which has gotten more white spots on it, my cycle starts with chills when Ibuprofen and and Tylenol wear off. After taking them both, chills go away and I start to get really hot and sweat. Then an hour or so later I feel okay until the meds wear off and the cycle repeats. This has been going on since Wednesday. Nurse told me it's viral and should just let it run its course but I'm growing very impatient. Fever is getting higher amd higher. Just now I clocked it at 102 while sweating. This isn't normal for me. Any idea of what this could be and what I should do? I also can't remember the last time I had a BM.
