The treatment of snoring should first be comprehensive according to the cause, mainly due to various causes of upper airway obstruction, the more common causes are obesity, tonsillar hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, nasal polyps, nasal septum deviation, pharyngeal stenosis and so on.
If a child has snoring, surgery can be considered to remove the tonsils and adenoids according to their degree of enlargement. Most of the snoring patients encountered in the clinic are obese, so first of all, it is recommended to lose weight, through exercise and diet. If the patient does not have the above-mentioned diseases, snoring due solely to collapse of the soft palate can be treated by breathing continuous positive pressure oxygenation, which means that ventilator therapy is required.
To sum up, snoring must be taken seriously, first of all, the cause of snoring must be clarified, and sleep monitoring should be done in parallel to clarify whether it is treated symptomatically through weight loss or surgery, or through ventilators, etc.
