Hello: I believe your baby has adenoid hypertrophy, also known as palatine tonsil hypertrophy, which is often caused by pharyngitis, laryngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, and acute infectious diseases such as influenza. The clinical manifestations include mouth breathing, snoring during deep sleep, and long-term respiratory distress can interfere with the baby's brain development. I suggest you have your baby undergo surgery in a timely manner. This surgery is simple and safe, with no aftereffects. During the recovery period, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and take care to prevent colds and catching a cold, which can lead to fever. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
