What should I do if my child snores and holds his breath while sleeping?

Snoring is a very common phenomenon. Many people snore when they sleep, especially some obese patients. However, some children also snore when they sleep at night. Many parents think that this is abnormal. Will it cause suffocation to the child? How should children's snoring be relieved? Let me introduce it to you today!

The respiratory tract of obese children is filled with fat, making breathing difficult. When the vibration frequency between the soft palate and the throat wall exceeds 30 Hz, snoring will occur.

Don’t get too nervous when your baby snores, as it may just be due to a bad sleeping position. Try letting your baby sleep with his head on the side. This will prevent the tongue from drooping too far back and blocking the breathing passage, and perhaps the snoring problem will be solved. In addition, sometimes the baby snores occasionally, which may be due to being too tired during the day or being sick or having a cold. Don't make a fuss about it. But if the snoring is persistent, it is best to consult a doctor or see a doctor.

For children who snore, it is recommended to sleep on their side, do not press their hands on their chests, and cover them with a light and warm blanket. When snoring is discovered, adults can turn the child over, change the sleeping position, and do not place the pillow too high, which can sometimes relieve the snoring.

Do not make the milk powder too concentrated, give water between feedings, and do not make the house too dry. Do outdoor activities regularly and practice turning over more often, which will help discharge respiratory secretions.

When my baby was just born, he snored when he slept lying on his back. I asked the doctor, and he was told that it was because the laryngeal cartilage was not well developed and that I should take calcium supplements. It will be fine after eating it for a few days. I took trace elements after the confinement period and I am not lacking in calcium. Should your baby also go and check it out?

It is best to take your child to the hospital for a detailed examination in time to rule out some cases of bronchitis and pneumonia. If there are indeed some obesity problems, he should lose weight in a healthy and active way. He should also improve his sleeping environment. Don't always let him sleep in a noisy environment, and the pillow should be lower.
