Hi Welcome To Life With Little Ones. Every parent wants to have the best parenting skills and the happiest children.

Children with a respiratory infection often find it difficult to breathe through the nose and are likely to breathe through the mouth. Especially when asleep, this results in noisy breathing that sounds like snoring but is not. This condition is a result of enlargement of the adenoids a patch of tissue located high in the throat, at the back of the nasal passage. Sometimes, there may also be a swelling of the tonsils the two circular lump-like structures in the back portion of the throat.
Both the tonsils and the adenoids work to trap germs entering the body through the nose and mouth. Therefore, when there is an infection, these tissues swell temporarily and cause pain in the throat. While antibiotics may be required to deal with the infection, some natural remedies are useful in reducing the pain and discomfort due to the enlarged adenoids and tonsils.
