Snoring in children is clinically known as Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypoventilation Syndrome, which can be caused by factors such as adenoid hypertrophy, obesity, tongue fall back, developmental abnormality, etc. A small number of them can be cured by themselves, but most of them cannot be cured by themselves.
1. Adenoid hypertrophy: it is the most common cause of snoring in children. As children are young and their airway space is relatively small, adenoid hypertrophy can easily lead to airway obstruction, which results in open-mouth breathing and snoring. With age, the function of adenoids gradually decreases, which can make children heal themselves.
2. Developmental abnormalities: Obstructive sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndrome caused by deviated nasal septum and enlarged nasal turbinates cannot be cured by itself, and it should be treated actively for the primary disease, and if necessary, surgery is needed to relieve it.
3. Tongue root falling back: it can lead to tongue root falling back to block the airway, and then snoring phenomenon, at this time, you can adjust the children’s sleeping position, so that the snoring symptoms can be relieved, and this situation leads to obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome can be self-cured.
Clinically, there are many reasons for children’s obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, such as obesity, genetic family history, long-term use of sedative drugs, can cause the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, it is best to carry out in the treatment process under the guidance of pediatricians, otolaryngologists.
