Is Surgery For DNS Possible In One Year Old?

Hi. My son who is one year old, weight is 11 kg, is suffering from DNS, his right side of nose is completely blocked and water comes from his mouth, eyes and nose. While sleeping he experiences difficulty in breathing and voice comes from his chest. what is the treatment, can we get DNS operation for him, as he is just one year old? Are there any other method to open the nose say fitting a pipe in the nose etc? should I consult ENT specialist or paediatric specialist?

Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic. It is very uncommon to have severe DNS at this age, it tends to improve as they grow old. But as he is having difficulty breathing contact an ENT specialist as they will evaluate the degree of obstruction and advise simple airways to open his nose till they grow old.
