Have you thought about calling the manufacturer and asking them?

your kid gave you all sorts of unexpected "calls from school", didn't he?

Yeah, having an active imagination is fun until you discover that your kids got it. Then its not nearly as much fun.

Much better is to get rid of the issue:

It's easy and quick and usually gives a good indication of any structural problems. http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/endos ... -sinusitis

If air won't flow through your nostrils, there is a reason for it.

I had turbinate reduction surgery and deviated septum corrected. One of the best things I have ever done for myself and fairly easy recovery. Doctors have gotten very skilled at doing these.

At least have the exam. You may find that it is something easily fixed.

If insurance coverage is an impediment: since you already have apnea, the surgery may be considered medically necessary.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Surgery for enlarged turbinates or deviated septum is covered by all policies that I know of. There is no requirement that you have sleep apnea.

Enlarged turbinates and deviated septum make it difficult to breathe properly all day long. Mouthbreathing is unhealthy with or without apnea.
