Snoring problem

Doctor my kid is only 6 yrs old, from past one month I have heard him snoring at night, though he doesn't seem to have cold or nasal congestion. Please advise if we should consult an ENT specialist

Yes, use the practo app to select a good ENT Specialist. He must be having Adenoid Hypertrophy. A simple Digital X-Ray of Nasopharynx in lateral view with soft tissue enhancement will confirm the diagnosis. Drop into my clinic with the X-Ray film if you are near Basaveshwaranagar.
