Should you be worried if your child had a fever for one week and now after three weeks he is breathing at night most of the time from his mouth and his tonsils are red and he is snoring?

Should See a Pediatrician The child needs to be seen by a pediatrician, if they have already then, a second visit is recommended and possibly a request to refer the child to an ear nose throat specialist if necessary In the 1940's up to the late 1950's doctors often recommended children get their tonsils and adenoids out if they kept getting sore throats, earaches, or sleeping with their mouths open all the time. Today's doctors very often feel since the tonsils are a filtering organ they should not be taken out. Don't believe it!

My sister-in-law believed her doctor when her daughter was dosed up on one antibiotic after the other for years over the same symptoms your son had and it was her tonsils and now these same antibiotics are not working on her daughter who is now 21. (Constant dosing of antibiotics is not good for children or adults and strips the lining of their intestines of the good bacteria. ) She is going to have to have them out soon because of on-going sore throats, earaches and snoring with mouth open.It's much harder on an adult to get their tonsils out than when you are younger.

Also the constant snoring can cause "Sleep Apnea" in later years. This means the person is going a long while in between breaths I had my tonsils out when I was almost 7 and my brother got his out when he turned 7 because we both had the same problems your son is experiencing. I am 65 and my brother is 58 and we seldom get colds, the flu, or sore throats, so much for the filtering organ!

If you doctor disagrees with removing your son's tonsils and adenoids then please seek a second opinion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
