Sleep apnea in 2 year old

0 replies

HCA · 08/07/2023 11:50

I’m convinced my 2 year old has sleep apnea. I didn’t realise quite how severe until the last couple nights.
She has always been an incredibly noisy snorer but she’s been snoring very different the last few nights- struggling to breathe/stopping entirely.
I have audio recordings of her struggling to breathe snoring and the videos of her ‘sucked in’ breathing to show the GP Monday.
Im really hoping an ENT referral won’t take too long 😞
I think she’s always had big tonsils but they are now massive. Can tonsils suddenly grow massive? She isn’t unwell so she’s not got tonsillitis.
I have a sub mucous clef palate and massive tonsils and adenoids as a kid and had my tonsils removed so wonder whether it could be hereditary.
Any help much appreciated x
