Many people are accustomed to adults snoring while sleeping and do not pay too much attention to it. However, parents find it unbelievable that a three-year-old baby snores while sleeping. Under normal circumstances, babies sleep quietly and do not make any other sounds except for breathing. However, some babies snore loudly while sleeping, and parents want to investigate. Let me introduce to you what causes severe snoring in a three-year-old baby?
What's wrong with a three-year-old baby snoring severely
1. If the pillow is placed too high, it can cause poor sleeping posture and result in difficulty breathing and snoring.
2. Children with narrow nasal passages, soft nasal mucosa, abundant blood vessels, and slight infections can cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, which can easily lead to nasal congestion and snoring.
3. Or there may be congenital abnormalities in the development of laryngeal cartilage, and there may be a possibility of respiratory infection. It depends on the child's other symptoms to help confirm. The former does not require special treatment and can be cured by waiting. If there are obvious symptoms such as cough, nasal congestion, and runny nose, the latter should be considered and treated accordingly.
The harm of babies snoring
1. If the snoring sound is relatively mild, lacks continuity, does not cause respiratory pauses, and does not affect sleep quality, it is generally not a health issue.
2. If snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), parents should pay attention. This can lead to children being unable to inhale enough oxygen and expel carbon dioxide during sleep, repeatedly waking up, poor sleep quality, and poor mental state, which can easily cause hypoxemia and hypercapnia. In severe cases, it can have an impact on development, heart, lungs, and nerves.
There is so much knowledge about babies snoring. Ultimately, snoring in babies is not a normal phenomenon. Therefore, parents should not take their babies snoring lightly. It is necessary to check whether snoring is caused by external factors or by the baby's own reasons. Only by identifying the cause can we take appropriate measures to ensure that the baby has a good sleep and grows up healthy.
