Is it normal for a newborn to snore?

Snoring has another alias, which is snoring. Normal people will snore when they are sleeping, both physically and mentally exhausted. But is it normal for a newborn to snore after it is born? Let’s take a look at this situation.

Snoring is also called snoring. Under normal circumstances, young children often make slight snoring sounds while sleeping. However, if you snore loudly continuously, it is abnormal and should be considered a medical condition, the most common of which is corpus callosum hypertrophy.

The adenoids, also known as the adenoids, are a large piece of lymphoid tissue located on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx behind the nasal cavity. The proliferative body develops rapidly in early childhood, with the most vigorous growth between the ages of 3 and 6, and gradually shrinks during puberty. Therefore, hypertrophy of proliferative bodies is a unique lesion in early childhood. Normal-sized proliferative bodies have no effect on children, but if the proliferative bodies are too large, they will affect their physical and mental health.

When the temperature changes, malnutrition, decreased resistance or suffering from colds, tonsillitis, rhinitis, sinusitis can lead to hypertrophy of the proliferative body. The nasal condyle is too enlarged and blocks the posterior nostril, which not only blocks the drainage of nasal secretions but also blocks the air from entering and exiting the nasal cavity. After the child falls asleep, the gas exhaled from the trachea is forced to be exhaled from the mouth. Because the muscles of the whole body relax during sleep, the tongue also relaxes and falls into the pharynx, making the pharynx narrow and blocked. At this time, the gas will impact the root of the tongue and the suspensory tissues from time to time, making bursts of nocturnal sounds with breathing. If young children snore, hold their breath, and breathe through their mouths for a long time, it will affect their physical and brain development, causing their intelligence to decline, their reactions to become slow, their expressions to become dull, and their appearance to suffer from the disappearance of the nasolabial grooves, thickening and upturned upper lip, protruding and exposed upper incisors, sagging mandibles, and a high and arched hard palate, forming a special "proliferative face". Hypertrophy of the eustachian tube cartilage can also hinder the movement of the eustachian tube cartilage, making it easy for middle ear effusion to occur, causing otitis media and conductive hearing loss. Young children often breathe with their mouths open and are in an uncomfortable state during sleep. They do not get enough rest at night, are in poor spirits during the day, have poor appetite, and do not consume enough calories from food. This can also lead to delayed growth and development, with height and weight lower than normal children of the same age, and decreased body resistance. Therefore, these children are not only prone to respiratory tract infections, but also to pigeon chest, funnel chest, and even cor pulmonale. Of course, snoring in young children may also be caused by the enlarged tonsils in the pharynx, which causes partial blockage of the pharyngeal cavity.

The above is an explanation of the snoring of newborns. There is usually a reason for the snoring of newborns, which has a certain scientific basis. When your child snores, it is likely to be pathological because there is a certain obstruction in the upper respiratory tract, which causes snoring. You can go to the hospital for examination first and then seek a reasonable solution.
