What is the cause of snoring in the newborn's throat?

Since babies are not fully developed in all aspects of their bodies when they are born, adults are needed to help them with various daily care. However, some parents are often in a panic because it is their first time to take care of a child and they do not have much experience. Some parents find that their children always snore and do not know what is going on. So let us take a look at why children snore.

Infants and young children will not spit up, and even if the phlegm is coughed up, they will just swallow it into the stomach. When the baby coughs, parents should pick up the child and gently pat the baby's back with their empty palms, up and down, left and right. If the baby coughs when a certain part is tapped, it means that the baby's phlegm is accumulated there and you should focus on tapping. Most of the time, phlegm accumulates in the area below the shoulder blades, which is the bottom of the lungs. As long as there is stimulation from sputum, the baby will cough, and once the sputum is discharged, the cough will be temporarily relieved. Therefore, patting the back can help expand the chest, regulate qi, and promote the discharge of phlegm. It is best to pat the baby’s back just after waking up or before going to sleep. For babies who have wind-heat cough accompanied by sore throat and tonsillitis, foot massage can be used. First, rub the soles of your baby's feet up and down 30 times for each foot, then massage each toe up and down 20-40 times. Focus on massaging the area on both sides of the base of the big toe on the sole of the foot. As long as the tonsils are inflamed, this area will be very painful. Massage each foot for 5 minutes. After massage, the baby's sore throat symptoms will be significantly alleviated. After the massage, give your baby plenty of warm water or lightly salted water. If you insist on massaging your baby twice a day and combining it with diet therapy, your baby's illness will heal quickly.

When children suffer from diseases such as tonsillitis and respiratory tract infection, they may snore. If they have tonsillitis and respiratory tract infection, they should be treated in time, which can prevent snoring to a certain extent. If a child snores frequently, parents should take the child to a sleep center for diagnosis as soon as possible. If it is caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids, the best way is to perform surgical removal. If resection surgery is not possible, symptoms can be relieved through non-invasive ventilator therapy.

The above provides some possible reasons for snoring in the throat of newborns. I hope that parents will not worry too much. However, if it is discovered that it is a congenital disease, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The earlier the disease is discovered, the greater the possibility of cure. I hope the above article can help you understand more about various aspects of newborns.
