Swollen glands and allergies

[lindavis74]

My 5 yr old daughter has seasonal allergies and today I noticed that her tonsils are a bit swollen, more than usual. Is this a side effect of the allergies or is there something more going on that I should know about?  She also has a major snoring problem when sleeping and seems to breathe a bit heavy at all times.

Hello and welcome .. I'm not a Dr, but yes what you describe can come from the allergies and/or the drip that sometimes become a bit more thick and/or infected from the root cause -- the allergies .. thus, the glands get swollen as they try to rid the bad bacteria or virus as it goes through,  I'm a mom of kids with severe environmental allergies ,, this is what we've seen as well as it turning into sinusitis. The snoring can be from enlarged adnoids I think I've heard .. you may want to confer with an ENT.
