What causes children to snore while sleeping?

The quality of sleep for children is very important. Children can only grow physically and intellectually when they sleep. If the quality of sleep is poor, it will seriously affect the growth and development of children. So what causes children to snore? Let’s take a look with the editor today.

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.

Snoring is most common in children over two years old. It is related to glandular development, such as tonsils or tonsils. If one-third to two-thirds of the respiratory tract is blocked, we must do corresponding examinations. If the hypoxia is severe, surgical treatment must be performed in time. 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 above are the reasons why children snore when they sleep. If parents find that their children snore while sleeping, they should pay enough attention to it and not take it lightly. If it is serious, they should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
