What Causes Snoring And Foaming Mouth During Sleep?
My 3yr old daughter has been snoring while sleeping and at times a white foam appears in her mouth. While she sleeps her breathing is irregular . Her tonsils are scheduled to be removed in 2 weeks. Is the white foam caused by the tonsils or is it a sign of something else?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that your 3 year old daughter is snoring and white foam appears in mouth.
This white foam is due the saliva gets turmoil with eddy currents of air and foam forms, nothing serious.
Anyways, she is going for tonsillectomy.
I have a feeling she needs adenoidectomy also for complete relief.
