How can I treat my child’s snoring to improve it?

Some careful parents may find that their children snore when they sleep, and sometimes the sound is very loud. Generally speaking, if it is mild, it is a normal phenomenon, but for more serious cases, it is necessary to find the cause and treat it in time. The editor will introduce the specific treatment plans below. Parents can use the article to help themselves understand.

1. Food congestion: Some children sometimes snore. This is not a disease, but is caused by milk congestion. Due to swallowing, some children will have food accumulation in the throat, which makes the airway obstructed and causes snoring during sleep.

Countermeasure: After feeding the child, the mother should not put him down to sleep immediately. Instead, she should hold him up and pat his back gently to prevent snoring due to food accumulation. If the congestion is severe, just drop 1 to 2 drops of saline solution into the nasal cavity to dilute it.

2. Enlarged tonsils: Tonsils, also called tonsils, grow on both sides of the pharynx and have the function of defending and resisting the invasion of external pathogens. Some babies have overly enlarged tonsils, so that the tonsils on both sides almost touch each other, blocking the pharyngeal cavity and causing breathing difficulties. When they fall asleep, they will breathe through their mouths and make snoring sounds. In addition, tonsils are organs of the immune system. When the body's reactivity is disordered and resistance is reduced, the tonsils will also become inflamed and swollen.

Countermeasures: The key is to let children exercise and consume a certain amount of protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. every day to enhance their physical fitness and improve immunity. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, but it is not advisable to take medication for a long time by yourself, because long-term use of certain nasal drops can cause drug-induced rhinitis and make the baby dependent on the drugs.

Therefore, it is not necessary to use medication to treat children's snoring symptoms. Sometimes some measures can be taken to alleviate the symptoms. In addition, the editor recommends that parents pay attention to the daily care of their children, especially when they are sleeping, the air in the room must be kept fresh, and they must strictly avoid covering their heads while sleeping and not lying prone.
