My son, whos just turned 3, has been having problems with what I think might be sleep apnea for 2 years. He has trouble breathing out of his nose, at night and during the day. At night, however, it seems like somethng ends up blockng his airway completely and he ends up gasping for air. I have an appointment with an ENT specialist but can you blieve i have to wait two months?! The only thing I'm confused about is why he seems so congested, even during the day. It's almost like allergies but medicine doesn't work and what could he be so allergic to all year long. I've took him to an ENT before and all they said is that his tonsils look fine and they don't know whats causing it. Has anyones child had this sleep apnea, nasal type problem? How can I help him breathe better, especilly when he's sleeping? Please tell me anything, I can't stand worrying if he's going to be alive in the morning anymore! I can't believe these doctors are so stupid and just don't care.
