Why Do Babies Snore?

Question: Doctor my daughter often snores at night and snores very loudly. I was worried what would happen to my daughter?

Thanks for your question. I am happy to answer you and we will reveal some information about this issue. Usually, all children snore when they have a cold.
However, even without a cold, about 8-12% of children snore and mostly at night

. This often changes in a negative way around the age of 2 - 8 years old and then usually improves in a more positive way.

Snoring is more common in overweight children and in children with smokers. The main reason is due to the growing tonsils and the addition of tonsils in the throat

When the muscles in the throat are not active during sleep, the tonsils and the tonsils are responsible for narrowing (obstructing, blocking) the airflow in the throat.



The internal chaos of the airflow causes this problem, which is why you hear the sound of snoring.

Tonsils and lymph nodes are part of the body's immune system. You can see the tonsils on the back of the larynx, one on each side. The pharynx of the pharynx is higher than the larynx below the nose and palate, so you cannot see the nodes. They help eliminate pathogens and help develop the immune system against bacteria, especially in young children.
Therefore, we often see tonsils and lymph nodes in children (probably symptoms of colds and other infections). However, snoring does not actually interfere with a child's health if it is not associated with OSAS (obstructive syndrome, sleep apnea)

In OSAS, children can stop breathing for a while while sleeping.



And when disturbed sleep causes disturbances throughout the day (such as fatigue, behavioral disorders or lack of concentration). One clue is that often breathing through the mouth throughout the day. The other reason is due to the strange sleeping posture. For example, some children who sleep at night often have a narrow airflow that will sleep with their backs on their knees, causing their heads to be upside down, or their necks to be stretched out just like The circus performing the act of swallowing a sword.
Perhaps these sleeping postures cause the tongue to slope down the back of the throat. Having large tonsils and tonsils may also be a reason for snoring, but this problem is not easy to treat. The immediate measure is to perform a surgery and it may lead to many risks.
However, amputation of the tonsils and lymph nodes is the best solution if your daughter shows any signs of OSAS.



There are actually 2 things you should do right away. First, think about your daughter's weight. If your child is obese, this is the time to encourage your child to eat regularly and exercise and exercise (including limiting television time). Secondly, if someone smokes in the house, advise them to quit, this will bring many benefits..
