Baby snoring suggests that airflow in and out of the respiratory tract is not smooth. Common causes include physiological factors and pathological factors, such as the baby’s sleeping position, laryngeal cartilage underdevelopment, rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy and so on.
1. Physiological factors: the baby nasal cavity is relatively short, the pharynx is narrow and vertical, if the baby sleeps on his back, the root of the tongue is affected by gravity and fall back, easy to cause part of the respiratory tract blocked, snoring phenomenon; when the baby due to congenital laryngeal cartilage developmental insufficiency, when breathing, the laryngeal cartilage will be collapsed, so that there is a snoring sound.
2. Pathological factors: when the baby occurs respiratory tract infection or rhinitis, nasal mucosa congestion and edema, nasopharyngeal ventilation is impeded, and then snoring phenomenon. Another common is adenoid hypertrophy, when the adenoid due to inflammation stimulation of hyperplasia, will lead to nasal blockage, sleep will appear snoring sound.
The causes of baby snoring are many, if there is no relief or sleep apnea phenomenon, timely to the hospital to identify the cause of the disease, give appropriate treatment. Usually let the baby eat less and more meals, participate in more outdoor activities, try to let the baby sleep on his side, so as not to fall back to the root of the tongue to block the airway.
