According to your grandson’s symptoms
(he couldn’t breathe through the nose
and didn’t sleep well), he might be
experiencing a nasopharyngeal inflammation
or hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal
tonsil (adenoid vegetations). You may
consult an ENT-specialist for more
information and seek an accurate
diagnosis.
