Many people think that snoring while sleeping is a condition only experienced by adults, but nowadays some children also snore when they sleep. At this time, parents often think that it is caused by the children sleeping too deeply. In fact, a child’s snoring while sleeping may be a sign of illness.

The most common cause of snoring in children is enlarged adenoids (adenoids are tonsils located at the back of the nasal cavity and on the top of the nasopharynx, also called nasopharyngeal tonsils, which are a piece of lymphatic tissue in the pharynx). Adenoids hypertrophy blocks part of the nasopharyngeal airway, causing the airway to be in a narrow state for a long time. The only way to breathe smoothly is to open your mouth. When you open your mouth to breathe, the uvula in the pharynx vibrates, and snoring occurs with breathing.

If a child snores, it means that the child's sleep quality is poor, which can lead to high blood pressure and even damage brain function in the long run. In particular, the 3 to 6 years old period is the fastest stage of brain development for children. If the brain is deprived of oxygen, it will damage the brain nerve cells. In the long run, it will affect brain development, making the child's attention, concentration, and IQ worse than normal children. Doctors urge parents to seek detailed examinations from specialists if they notice their children snoring, restless sleep, or frequent awakenings.

Snoring is also known as snoring and snoring syndrome, and in medicine it is also known as sleep apnea syndrome. When the child is in deep sleep, the volume of his snoring increases to more than 60 decibels, which hinders gas exchange during normal breathing. This is called snoring. 5% of children who snore also have varying degrees of breath holding during sleep, which is called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The main clinical manifestations are snoring, breath holding, nocturnal apnea, sleepwalking, enuresis and daytime sleepiness.
