Why does a two-year-old baby snore when sleeping?

My two-year-old baby snores when he sleeps, and it has been going on for a long time. This symptom makes me particularly worried. Therefore, for the health of my baby and for the baby to stop snoring when sleeping as soon as possible, I want to know why my two-year-old baby snores when he sleeps? So what exactly is the reason why a two-year-old baby snores when he sleeps? The following content gives a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

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.

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.

If a two-year-old baby snores while sleeping, it will cause serious damage to the respiratory tract and may even cause suffocation. Therefore, as a mother, if your child snores when he is two years old, you must pay attention to it. In order to stop your child from snoring as soon as possible, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
