According to your grandson’s symptoms (he couldn’t breathe through the nose and didn’t sleep well), he might be experiencing a nasopharyngeal inflammation or hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsil (adenoid vegetations). You may consult an ENT-specialist for more information and seek an accurate diagnosis.
