Surgical treatment: the main cause of obstructive sleep apnea in children is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids, and such children should be firstly diagnosed in ENT department for relevant examination and surgical treatment. Adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy is recommended as the treatment of choice for children with enlarged tonsils or adenoids and no contraindications to surgery.
