During sleep, if there is a certain blockage in the airway, this kind of snoring will occur after the impact of air flow. Therefore, snoring in sleep is not a normal phenomenon, which may have the following reasons.

Reasons for children's snoring

1、 Hypertrophy of tonsils and adenoids. Some children have adenoid hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy and tonsil hypertrophy. These two glands are behind the nasal cavity and pharynx. When they are significantly enlarged, the air flow is not smooth, and the baby will snore.

2、 Rhinitis. Children's immune system is not fully developed, and their ability to resist external viruses is relatively poor. It is very easy to cause colds, which can lead to rhinitis and nasal congestion, which will cause children to snore.

3、 Laryngeal diseases. Some children have congenital laryngeal cartilage development problems. This kind of snoring will be aggravated once sleep is relaxed.

4、 Obesity. Some slightly older children, who are relatively obese, may also snore during sleep.

5、 Poor sleeping posture. Some children sleep too heavily and their necks are not straight, which may lead to snoring.

Effects of snoring during sleep

Snoring is accompanied by the reduction of respiratory airflow. There is oxygen in the airflow. Oxygen enters the blood through the exchange of our lungs, which will supply various organs of our body. Because our brain consumes more oxygen, especially when children sleep at night, they sleep for a long time. If the blood oxygen content decreases, it will affect all organs in the body. If it affects the development of the brain and the secretion of endocrine hormones, the child may be listless and stunted.

Preventive measures for children snoring

☆ Nutrition should be balanced to prevent obesity due to excessive nutrition.
☆ Ensure the regularity of children's work and rest time, and reduce intense activities at night.
☆ Pay attention to strengthening the body's resistance, reducing the occurrence of various acute and chronic respiratory infectious diseases, and avoiding upper respiratory tract obstruction caused by inflammation.

In daily life, many parents think their children sleep soundly when they see them snoring at night. In fact, this view is wrong. Parents should fully realize that children snoring is a morbid condition, and take their children to regular hospitals in time to avoid affecting their normal development.
