Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what your son had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, it seems likely to be upper airway obstruction likely due to adenoids and may need ENT specialist review and may need surgical intervention.
Pulmonary function tests may also be performed to rule out lower respiratory tract issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
