Long-term snoring will affect the child's "appearance"

The quality of sleep not only affects children's physical health and intellectual development, but also affects the hearts of parents. If the child snores, parents should pay enough attention to it. Snoring is not the same as sleeping well, and if severe, there is a risk of sleep apnea, or hypopnea.

Why do children snore?

Snoring is actually a disease, normal children do not snore when sleeping, children's snoring is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract stenosis, the most common cause is tonsil or adenoid hypertrophy, allergic rhinitis, obesity and so on. If the child has a long-term snoring habit and has been continuously for more than 3 months, especially if it is accompanied by sleep apnea, mouth breathing and other symptoms for a long time, it must attract the attention of parents and seek medical attention in time.

Snoring, mouth breathing, holding breath, lack of concentration, growth and development below normal standards, and easy anger during sleep are all manifestations of sleep breathing disorders. The peak age of sleep breathing disorders in children is 3 to 6 years old, which is also the fastest growth stage of human adenoids and tonsils, and 6 years old to adolescence is also growing, but relatively slowly, after puberty will slowly shrink.

One of the important causes of snoring is adenoid hypertrophy, and adenoid hypertrophy causes mouth breathing, which in turn leads to abnormal jaw development, such as lengthening of the maxilla, high arch of the hard palate, irregular teeth, protruding upper incisors, staggered, thick lips, which is what parents usually call adenoid face, this problem will seriously affect the child's "appearance".

Sleep-disordered breathing in children is diagnosed according to the length of the child's illness, the severity of symptoms, and sleep monitoring if necessary. At the same time, according to the cause of the child's onset, targeted drug or surgical treatment is carried out. If it is found that the child has sleep breathing disorders, it is recommended that parents go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
