my ds2 is just turning 1 and has alot of health issues including severe reflux that isnt improving with age but not getting worse. Anyway from the day he was born he was VERY stuffy/nasaly. It was put down to 'newborn mucous' for first month or so. Anyway he very quickly developed sleep apnea (ds1 and dh the same) and he had a vague sleep study done when he was small whilst in hospital for reflux tests but they never had to give oxygen etc so it was just dismisses 'he'l grow out of it'. It never changed so back to paeds who said it was the reflux. I agree that reflux can cause these sort of issues.
However since his last stay in hosp nearly 8 weeks ago he has got paricularly bad. His nose is always full of crusty bogeys (sorry!) and every day since he was born we have had to use olbas oil/vapourisers, saline drops etc at night. He sleeps propped up for reflux. Alot of the time even when he is awake he sounds funny when he is breathing. It comes and goes. Sort of like a cat purring? Also has a cough (always has) chest is ALWAYS clear. Everyone thinks he has a constant cold. IT is now interferring in his sleeping (when the reflux already does interfer) and wakes so frequent either from reflux or as his nose is so blocked and he cant breath and it makes a funny noise at the back of his nose. Hard to explain.
When he saw an ENT specialist when he was about 7 months he said he thinks he had a degree of floppy larynx that he was growing out of. That his tonsils seemed ok blah blah. Anyway both ds's have just had another sleep study done to see if that brings anything up.
Really confused. Ive googled floppy larynx and watched videos of their breathing but dont think that is him..
