Kareena is 19 months old, weighing only 18 lbs since last year, is struggling with constant congestion and runny nose. it lasted for almost an year, the doctor said it is common cold and she keep getting infected with it. treated her with antibiotics with no success. she was snoring and mouth breathing at night and i could hear her breathing loud even when she was awake. Her GI doctor was concerned about her not gaining weight. finally he directed me to a Pulmonologist and then to an ENT specialist. the result is that she has an enlarged adenoid which is blocking her airway. she is not gaining weight because she is spending more energy on breathing.
So finally we are deciding to get an adenoidectomy done which will help her breath better.
