Worrying signs of snoring in children

Half of the adult population of this globe snore, something that experts say is more than normal.

When it comes to children, snoring can sometimes be a cause for concern.

Causes of Snoring in Children

An average estimate shows that 1 in 10 children snore at night.

One of the main causes of snoring in children has to do with the excessive accumulation of tissues in the throat that play an obstructive role.

Large tonsils or foreign flesh prevent smooth breathing and cause snoring.

Other problems that cause snoring are: Allergies, throat infections, asthma, misaligned nasal bones and cartilage, and sleep apnea.

When Snoring in Children Becomes Concerned

Parents should go to the pediatrician in cases where the child: snores most nights of the week, snoring is very frequent at night, snoring is very loud, sleeps with the mouth open, has difficulty breathing during sleep.

These problems can signal sleep apnea, a problem involving difficulty breathing that can regularly interrupt a child's sleep.

Disrupted sleep can cause lethargy, fatigue, and problems with concentration and attention in children.

Apnea is not very common in children, but if it occurs it can cause serious health problems affecting the heart and lungs.

Overweight And Snoring

Doctors explain that overweight children and those born prematurely are more prone to snoring.

Snoring can also be prevalent in children with Down Syndrome, those affected by neuromuscular disorders and others.

Treatments Necessary Against Snoring

Anti-snoring treatments may be recommended by a pediatrician.

When it comes to foreign flesh and tonsils, the pediatrician may recommend a surgical intervention.

If the problem is obesity, the pediatrician may recommend losing weight.

If the child suffers from sleep apnea, the doctor may still recommend weight loss or surgery.

Once the problem with sleep apnea is resolved, in 90 percent of cases, children no longer snore./AgroWeb.org
