What Causes Nasal Block And Loss Of Appetite?
Hello doctor, my child is 4years 6 months old.She has nasal block, snoring and decreased appetite. Recently it is diagnosed that she has enlarged adenoids.We have consulted a pediatric ENT surgeon. Is there any possibilities that because of this problem they get temper tantrums frequently and for longer durations like 45 minutes.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for your question.
Yes, usually toddlers get cranky and throw temper tantrums whenever they feel uncomfortable. Your child is more likely to be irritable due to lack of sleep and hunger. If I was your child's treating doctor i would have given medicines for symptomatic relief such as saline nasal drops to reduce nasal block. Give your child lots of fluids, soups. I would suggest you to discuss with your doctor regarding further treatment options.
I hope this answers your query. Good luck.
With best regards,
