Children may experience chronic nasal blockage for a variety of reasons, including enlarged adenoids, persistent sinus infections, allergies, or structural issues in the nose. These conditions can hinder airflow, making it challenging for kids to breathe through their noses. This can result in snoring, mouth breathing, disrupted sleep, and frequent infections.

When enlarged adenoids obstruct airflow and cause ongoing nasal congestion, an adenoidectomy might be suggested. This is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that eliminates the swollen adenoid tissue to reestablish normal breathing. It can also decrease mouth breathing, snoring, and recurrent sinus infections.
For kids with enlarged turbinates, reducing their size can greatly enhance breathing. This gentle approach decreases turbinate size, boosting airflow and comfort. Coblation technology helps minimize tissue with reduced pain and quicker recovery times. It's frequently paired with other nasal treatments for the best outcomes.
A deviated septum can limit airflow, leading to ongoing congestion and breathing challenges. In more serious instances, septoplasty might be beneficial. Septoplasty aligns the nasal septum to enhance airflow, ease persistent congestion, improve sleep quality, and lessen snoring
