Hello Doctor,

My son is constantly coughing at night, snores really badly to the point he struggles to breathe, and gets swollen tonsils (not infected) every few months.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

The symptoms of constant nighttime coughing, severe snoring, and swollen tonsils could point to conditions like sleep apnea, allergies, or adenoid problems. These can cause breathing difficulties and poor sleep quality, potentially affecting your son's health if untreated. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider to diagnose the cause and explore suitable treatment options for his improved well-being.

Thanks.
