What should I do if my child snores while sleeping?

Generally, parents will wait until their children fall asleep before going to bed. Some parents accidentally find that their children snore while sleeping, which is obviously not good. Therefore, what they want to know most is what method can solve the problem of children's snoring, so as to solve it as soon as possible and put the stone under their heart down. The following is an introduction to the specific solution steps. I hope every parent can understand.

Snoring is not good no matter what the reason is. Snoring means one thing: the respiratory tract is blocked. Snoring will cause a blockage in the respiratory tract, which will affect the oxygen supply to the brain. Insufficient oxygen supply will definitely be bad for the child's intellectual development. So some parents consult us, asking whether their children who snore while sleeping should be treated. In the past, there were no such good examination and treatment methods, and we could only roughly estimate the degree of hypoxia in children. Now there are good ways to determine the degree of hypoxia in children. The intellectual damage caused by hypoxia is irreversible, so parents of children with snoring should pay special attention to it.

Methods/Steps

If a baby snores while sleeping, it may be due to laryngeal cartilage dysplasia. This will make the child's sleep noise louder, which will generally be significantly reduced after six months. For some children, it will continue until one and a half years old. At this time, when the child is sleeping, pay attention to not setting the pillow too high, and pay attention to keeping the respiratory tract straight. 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, as this is often caused by calcium deficiency in the mother during pregnancy.

Another common snoring problem occurs in children over two years old. This is related to glandular development, such as tonsils or tonsils. If one-third to two-thirds of the respiratory tract is blocked, we must conduct corresponding examinations. If the hypoxia is severe, surgical treatment must be performed in a timely manner. A polysomnography examination is needed. The child sleeps one night in the hospital. During the sleep, we need to do an EEG, an ECG, and blood oxygen saturation, as well as more than a dozen tests. If the blood oxygen saturation is lower than 92%. This condition can affect brain development and is an indication for surgery. If the child stops snoring after turning over, you can observe him further.

The adenoids begin to develop at the age of two or three and gradually atrophy after the age of twelve. If the blood oxygen saturation is not low, it can be observed every six months to a year. If your oxygen saturation is low, you may need surgery. Weigh the pros and cons.

Precautions

Snoring, whether it is an adult or a child, should be given enough attention

I hope that parents will try to follow the above steps when they find that their children snore when sleeping. If they persist in doing so, they can completely solve the problem of their children snoring when sleeping. This way, their breathing will be much smoother and they will naturally not suffocate. If you try the above methods and still don’t see any results, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for treatment.
