Hello Stevie

My primary doctor had referred me to have a sleep study. Also I do believe that an ENT would also send your son for a sleep study if he/she thinks their may be a possibility that your son has sleep apnea. My son had started snoring very badly when he was about 5 years old. He also had a problem with chronic soar throats such as strept. I brought him to an ENT. I was then instructed to record him while he slept. After the doctor had listened to the tape and reviewed his history of soar throats, he thought that it would be best for him to have a T&A (tonsil & Adnoid removal). Since he had that surgery he has never snored again. But I have also heard that the older the patient for this surgery, the more painful it may be. But I do think that it would be appropriate to take you son to his primary doctor and see what he suggest. I do wish you both the very best.
