I really need recommendations for a pediatric ENT. It would be great to hear from parents who's child has had tonsils and/or adenoids removed by such ENT. I have one recommendation from our pediatrician, but it will be a few weeks until we can be seen by that ENT and my daughter is having severe trouble breathing at night while sleeping. I'm hoping to get in somewhere ASAP!
Thanks!
This is new to me, so if any parents have had this experience and have suggestions, please let me know!
My 4 year old started snoring lately. Last night I watched her sleep and she stopped breathing multiple times in a few minutes for up to 25 seconds and then would fling her head to the ceiling, throw her arms up above her head and take this huge gasping breath and then repeat. At one point after 25 seconds without breath I lifted her up and yelled breath and she took a huge breath. It was terrifying! We went to her pediatrician today and had x rays and she has very large tonsils and adenoids which are significantly narrowing her airway. Sleep apnea. I feel like I won't be able to take my eyes off her while she sleeps now. I really need to get into a specialist ASAP.
