What is the cause of snoring in children?

Snoring is a common sleep disorder in life and can occur at any age. Some people have a misunderstanding, always thinking that only men, obese people or the elderly snore. In fact, it is not true. It is also common for children to snore. Generally, if a child snores, you should pay attention to observe whether his tonsils are swollen.

What kind of disease is it that causes children to snore?

01

In fact, snoring occurs not only to adults but also to children. In any case, snoring is bad because if snoring lasts for a long time it will affect the oxygen supply to the brain. Insufficient oxygen supply will definitely be bad for children's intellectual development. Therefore, we should pay more attention to it, but we must also find the right cause for snoring before we can treat it symptomatically. If a baby snores, it may be due to laryngeal cartilage hypoplasia. This will make the child's sleep noise louder, but it will generally be significantly reduced after six months.

02

Also, be especially careful not to let your children catch colds, as the possibility of their respiratory tract being blocked when they have a cold is much greater than for normal children. At the same time, calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented. This is often caused by calcium deficiency during pregnancy, so you should go to the hospital for treatment in time and don’t delay it to cause more trouble.

03

Snoring is most common in children over two years old, which is related to glandular development, such as tonsils or tonsils. If the respiratory tract is blocked by one-third to two-thirds, we must do corresponding examinations. If the hypoxia is severe, surgical treatment must be performed in time. It can be observed every six months to one year. If your oxygen saturation is low, you may need surgery. Weigh the pros and cons.

Note:

Snoring is harmful to your health. You should rest in your daily life and develop good living habits. It is recommended to sleep in a side-lying position, especially on the right side, to avoid the tongue, soft palate, and uvula from relaxing and falling back during sleep, which will aggravate upper airway obstruction.
