I've been thinking about this for a while and I've just been reading about bad breath and adenoids on another thread, so thought I'd post this...
DS is 6 and I'm sure has adenoid problems. He snores dreadfully, I mean, Dreadfully, and speaks in a very nasal way that often means it's difficult to tell what he's saying. Bad breath occasionally too. None of this seems to bother him - he doesn't seem tired during the day, he doesn't get ear infections (which I hear is a common associated problem), and so far does't get bullied for the way he speaks (although I know it's been mentioned in the way that kids do mention things).
We did talk to the GP about six months ago - who said yes, adenoids, but basically put me off a ENT referral because "it's fairly unpleasant" and he wouldn't bother unless DS was sleeping badly or being picked on.
Is he right? Should I be bothered? Will he grow out of it? (If his snoring carries on like this, he'll have to marry someone who's deaf... seriously, it's that bad)
Honest opinions and experiences please.
