My son is 10 years old, soon to be 11. When he was in Kindergarden, he got a bout of really bad strep throat. His tonsils remained enlarged. We sought an ENT's opinion from Children's Hosp. She felt that his tonsils (and adenoids) were not enlarged enough to remove at that time. Since then he has had several more cases of strep throat. My son still wets the bed at night, still has night terrors (although not as often as he used to), and I feel he has sleep apnea. My son is overweight, although he is not a couch potato and does not gorge on "junk food". My concerns and my question is -- I feel that all these symptoms are related and I am trying to find out the best way to handle these problems. Please help guide me in the right direction and tell me where I should start first. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you, Denise
