Children can experience ongoing nasal congestion for many reasons, including enlarged adenoids, recurring sinus infections, allergies, or structural concerns within the nose. These issues restrict airflow, making it harder to breathe through the nose and often leading to snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, or repeated infections.
At SoCal ENT, our pediatric specialists focus on identifying the exact cause of nasal obstruction and creating personalized treatment plans to restore clear breathing and lasting nasal health.
If you notice the following symptoms in your child, treatment may be needed:
If your child shows these signs, consulting a pediatric ENT expert can help treat lasting issues like disrupted sleep, delayed speech development, and ongoing sinus problems.
When enlarged adenoids block airflow and lead to persistent nasal congestion, an adenoidectomy may be recommended. This minimally invasive outpatient procedure removes the excess adenoid tissue to restore clear breathing and improve airflow through the nose. Many children experience noticeable relief from mouth breathing, snoring, and recurring sinus infections after surgery.
When the turbinates inside the nose become enlarged, they can restrict airflow and make breathing more difficult. Turbinate reduction gently decreases the size of these structures to improve nasal airflow and overall comfort. Using advanced Coblation technology, our specialists can precisely reduce excess tissue with less discomfort and a faster recovery. This procedure is often combined with other nasal treatments to achieve the best long-term results.
A deviated septum occurs when the wall dividing the nasal passages is off-center, restricting airflow and causing chronic congestion or difficulty breathing. In more advanced cases, septoplasty may be recommended to straighten the septum and restore proper airflow. This procedure can significantly reduce nasal blockage, improve sleep quality, and lessen snoring for long-term relief.
For children with allergic rhinitis or recurring sinus infections, reducing nasal inflammation is essential to relieve chronic congestion. Nasal steroid sprays and antihistamines can help minimize swelling and ease breathing. Allergy testing and immunotherapy (allergy shots) provide long-term relief by addressing the root cause of symptoms, while saline rinses help keep the nasal passages clear and healthy.
At SoCal ENT, we provide personalized care for children with chronic nasal conditions. Our approach ensures safe and gentle solutions designed specifically for kids.

Addressing these issues early can help prevent long-term effects such as speech delays, chronic sinus infections, or sleep disturbances. Our pediatric ENT specialists will carefully evaluate your child’s condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for lasting relief.
Our pediatric specialists provide thorough aftercare instructions and ongoing support to help your child recover smoothly and enjoy lasting improvements in nasal health.
If your child often has a stuffy nose, snores, breathes through their mouth, or gets frequent sinus infections, consider consulting a pediatric ENT specialist.
An adenoidectomy effectively eases ongoing nasal blockage caused by enlarged adenoids.
Procedures like adenoidectomy, turbinate reduction, and septoplasty are safe and effective ways to ease chronic nasal blockage in children. They are minimally invasive and aim to improve breathing.
While mild cases may resolve as your child grows, persistent nasal blockage might require medical attention to prevent further complications.
Kids usually bounce back in just a few days to a week, feeling only mild discomfort.
Improving nasal obstruction can enhance sleep by reducing snoring, restlessness, and mouth breathing.
