Dear Bob Liebert,

Our little guy has a problem with his adenoids swelling and preventing his air passing through his nose at night (the problem only occurs at night). He tends to snore and his breathing may stop for a period of 10 seconds.
Thank you for your help.

 

Dear Friend,

Herbs that aid in de-congesting the sinuses (without over-drying): ELDER FLOWER extract is a good mild one for kids. Then herbs to keep down infection, and help lymph congestion: ECHINACEA and CALENDULA extracts are good ones for kids. If you need precise dosages, let me know (along with age of the child).

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
