Suggest Treatment For Speech Problem In Child Due To Nose Congestion

My son is six years old and has had a speech problem since he was 2.5 years old. He had apnea when he was a baby. Constantly snores, breaths heavily through his month, speaks through his nose and is constantly congested in through his nasal passage. Do you think he would benefit from getting his adenoids removed?

Hi

I understand your concerns. Most kids with such symptoms improve after removing adenoids. A proper clinical examination by an ENT surgeon is needed for final approval for adenoidectomy.

Take care
