Does Snoring And Wheezing Needs Tonsil Removal In A Child?
Hello, my 2 yr old nephew has had constant clear drainage from his nose since he has been 4months old. He snores horribly when sleeping and he has a wheezing sound from chest. His parents finally took him to ENT and doctor immediately said tonsils and adenoids needs to be removed. My sister is a little hesitant because doctor just looked at throat but didn t do any other tests or more through exam.
