Hi, both the tonsils and rhinitis can cause problems with breathing. Make her sleep on her side and ensure to keep the nasal passages free with nasal drops, this should improve her breathing. If her symptoms worsen, she can undergo a sleep study to quantify her breathing problem, based on the results your doctor can decide on therapy. Regards.
Thank you so much doctor for that advice..it really means a lot to me and to my daughter..But can i ask you again? is it really true that eating chocolates and candies can worsen hypertrophic tonsils?.
