**Update** Well, DH took him to be checked out by his pediatrician. Ped said that it didn't sound like allergies. He said that he had swollen tonsils and referred us to an eyes, ears, nose specialist. We see the specialist on this Wednesday and we'll see what he says. Thanks for all the replies!
My 3.5 year old son has begun snoring very loudly at night. It started a few months ago where he is snoring most nights now. I think it really only happens on his back. It's very loud, though....it is literally like a grown man with a snoring problem.
Anyway, his teachers brought it up today at preschool. They've only noticed it recently, but apparently it's pretty bad there too. They also say (and I've seen) that he is very sweaty at nap time. I could ring his hair where he's been sleeping and it would drip....I've considered bringing a towel when I come pick him up! His teacher also thinks that his speech is kind of nasally...I never noticed, but sometimes other people can pick up on things that I can't as a mother.
I've been researching and it could be enlarged adenoids. I've never noticed breathing problems but I've seen that if he has apnea it could also cause daytime problems. He's been driving me nuts lately and I wonder if this could be it. He's always been very active, but sometimes he acts very hyperactive and has difficulty controlling himself. He's a sweet, sweet boy who everyone loves, but everythign he does is times 2.
I made an appointment on Monday to have it checked out, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience here. Thanks!!
