Secretions from the nose can drain into the throat when there is an underlying issue. Also breathing from the mouth during sleep suggests an obstruction. At your age it can be a deviated nasal septum or adenoids
Next Steps
Get an ENT consultation to rule out both.
If necessary a scan might be done.
Health Tips
Try sleeping on the sides.

You will be having sinusitis. Polyps are usually pale in colour . So we need to find out what the red coloured mass is. It can be an enlarged turbinate also. Usually we do an endoscopy in clinic to find out . But if you are not able to meet a doctor in this current situation , you can take a CT scan of the nose and paranasal sinuses and consult online
Next Steps
CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses
Health Tips
Use saline nasal sprays
