What should I do if my child snores at night?

In daily life, many people around us snore when they sleep. Don’t think that only adults snore. In fact, children do it too. However, if a child snores, it means that the child is overtired or even has some illness. So, what should we do if our child snores? Next, let me tell you the answer.

Snoring can be either benign or malignant

Snoring can be divided into benign snoring and malignant snoring. Benign snoring is often related to physical fatigue, and the snoring is even and generally does not require treatment. Malignant snoring is intermittent snoring and breathing pauses. If left untreated, it will seriously endanger the patient's health. What is generally referred to as snoring is this kind of malignant snoring.

What should I do if my child snores at night? Mothers can do the following on a daily basis:

1. Balance your child's diet. For a 10-month-old baby, add complementary foods in time, increase food diversity, and feed the baby reasonably.

2. Help your baby strengthen his physique and reduce the chance of upper respiratory tract infection. For example, let the baby bask in the sun more often and breathe fresh air; play crawling games to make the baby's body stronger.

3. Help children clean up nasal secretions and other secretions in time to keep the nose relatively unobstructed.

4. If your child sleeps on his back and snores, you can try to change his sleeping position and raise his head appropriately with a baby pillow.

5. If the snoring symptoms are severe, consult a doctor in time and cooperate with treatment. If the adenoids are severely enlarged, surgery may be an option.

How to prevent it

To prevent children from snoring, we must also pay attention to maintaining a balanced nutrition, prevent obesity due to overnutrition, ensure their daily routines are regular, and reduce strenuous activities at night. At the same time, we should pay attention to enhancing the baby's physical fitness, reducing the chance of contracting various acute and chronic respiratory infectious diseases, and avoiding upper respiratory tract obstruction caused by inflammation.
