My son is 11 years, 3 months old. And has always had heavy mucous ever since I remember. He tends to breathe through his mouth while sleeping and also when he wakes up, his nose is full of mucous. During the day also, his nose fills up atleast 5-6 times and comes out when he sneezes etc. Though there is no major physical discomfort, it is a little embarassing for him to be like this. Is it advisable to get them removed, and would the removal also lead to height increase for him - he is at present among the smaller children in his class. (Also, when he was born, he had laryngomalacia, for which we gave regular calcium supplements for 4 years, after which it got rectified)
