The baby snores loudly while sleeping. Listening to the sound of the baby snoring, waking oneself up is a small matter, just worrying about whether the baby will feel uncomfortable. I don't know if this is good for the baby, if it will have an impact on the baby's health in the long run, or if there are any abnormal conditions. What causes children to snore while sleeping?
Medically speaking, snoring or snoring during sleep is also known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which is a respiratory disorder that occurs during sleep. The main reason for children snoring while sleeping is due to lesions in some glands around their respiratory tract, such as enlarged adenoids and tonsils in the nasopharynx or developmental abnormalities in the craniofacial structure. After the child falls asleep, the muscles relax and the swollen glands temporarily block the airway. Ventilation is blocked, making it impossible to breathe through the nose during sleep, resulting in mouth opening breathing. As a result, the base of the tongue falls back and snoring sounds occur with breathing. But other reasons cannot be ruled out either.
There are many other reasons that can cause children to snore, such as genetics. If parents have abnormal jawbones or narrow airways, their children usually have the same symptoms. Therefore, breathing is obstructed during sleep, leading to snoring. In addition, inflammation of the nasal cavity such as sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are also causes; Other causes include small jaw syndrome, macroglossia, obesity, etc.
Long term snoring in babies not only affects sleep quality and damages their bodies, but also has a significant impact on their intelligence. So if your child snores while sleeping, early treatment is necessary. Of course, doctors also point out that babies do not become so nervous when they snore. Sometimes, it may just be caused by poor sleeping posture. You can try letting the baby sleep with their head on their side, which can prevent their tongue from drooping too far and blocking their breathing passage. This may solve the snoring problem. In addition, sometimes babies snore, which may be due to excessive fatigue during the day or getting sick with a cold. Don't be alarmed. However, snoring in this condition occurs by chance.
