Is it a disease for children to snore when sleeping?

When a child snores while sleeping, it can be a big or small problem. There are physiological reasons for this, such as when the child is playing, tired, or has a poor diet, which can easily lead to this phenomenon. Another thing that needs attention is pathological snoring. For example, if the child has problems with the cardiovascular system, respiratory stenosis, etc., such symptoms may occur.

Causes of snoring

1. Genetics

There are many reasons why children snore, such as genetics. If the parents have jaw abnormalities and narrow airways, the children will usually have the same symptoms, so breathing will be obstructed during sleep and cause snoring.

2. Obesity

Usually, the main reason why children snore while sleeping is due to lesions in some glands around the child's respiratory tract. For example, the tonsils or adenoids will swell when they are inflamed. When the child falls asleep, the muscles relax and the swollen glands will temporarily block the airway. Obstructed ventilation makes it impossible to breathe through the nose while sleeping, and the child breathes through the mouth. As a result, the root of the tongue falls back, and snoring sounds are made with the breathing.

1. Pay attention to a balanced diet for your child. For a 10-month-old baby, you should add complementary foods in time, increase the diversity of food, and feed him/her reasonably.

2. Strengthening children's physical fitness can also reduce the chance of respiratory infections. Many mothers are afraid that their babies will be exposed to the sun, so they choose to take their babies out for a walk in the evening when the sun sets. In fact, it is better for babies to get more sun exposure, and the air is fresher in the morning. Don't always hold the baby in your arms, let the baby do more crawling games, which can also make the baby's body stronger.

3. Pay attention to the baby's nose to see if there are any foreign objects blocking the nostrils. Clean up the mucus and other secretions in time to keep the nose unobstructed.

4. Change the baby's sleeping position. If the baby snores while sleeping, you can change the baby's sleeping position or raise the head appropriately.

If your baby's snoring symptoms are severe, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. If it is due to gland inflammation, surgical treatment can be chosen. Pay attention to children's nutrition and physical fitness, prevent obesity caused by overnutrition, and regulate their work and rest schedules, and reduce intense activities at night.
