Parents and friends should pay attention to it, if the child does not have the energy to sleep every day, it is not necessarily to be lazy, it may be suffering from adenoidal hypertrophy. Ten-year-old Xiaozhuang has become very sleep-loving in the past year, and his test scores have plummeted. The teacher reported that he was in poor shape, had trouble concentrating, and often dozed off in class.
Xiaozhuang's mother: "Classmates reported that he snored very loudly at noon, and I suddenly held his breath for a minute when I found him snoring at night, and I was very worried." ”
So Xiaozhuang's mother took her son from Jingzhou to a special hospital in Wuhan for help, and after expert diagnosis, she learned that the culprit causing his symptoms was hypertrophic adenoids. Adenoids are located at the top of the nasopharynx and the posterior wall of the pharynx, and as they age, the adenoids will gradually grow and generally atrophy on their own by the age of 10 to 12 years. However, some children's adenoids do not shrink on their own, and Xiaozhuang belongs to this category.
Wang Guangjun, deputy attending physician of Wuhan Minsheng ENT Specialist Hospital, said: "Children snoring will seriously affect intellectual development. Because the child's intellectual development in childhood is a peak period, the brain nerve split is the most vigorous period, if this time snoring, the brain lacks oxygen, then his neurodevelopment is not excellent, it will become sluggish, which will seriously affect their learning, life, intellectual development. “
After surgical treatment, Xiaozhuang is no longer snoring and his mental state is also very good. Experts remind: if the child snores, drowsiness, or even obstructive sleep apnea, accompanied by symptoms such as lack of oxygen during sleep, it must not be taken lightly, and the cause should be clarified so that the symptoms can be treated in time.
