Ds1 (4 1/2) has huge tonsils and has always been a terrible snorer. He also struggles with eating- he is painfully slow to eat and really struggles with different textures. He has always only eaten soft foods and refuses anything chewy like meat.
I'd never connected the two, but it seems like they may be partially connected. I guess something large at the back of his throat would make it hard to eat and swallow.
Has anyone else had issues like this? How has it been resolved? I know they are reluctant to remove tonsils but can they be reduced?
We gave BUPA cover, so hopefully we should be able to get an ENT referral on that?
