Many adults may snore when they are tired or their pillows are uncomfortable. If they are overweight, they snore easily. However, if the child snores, it is an abnormal situation and often worries parents. The main cause of snoring in children is adenoidal hypertrophy. In addition to this major cause, childhood obesity, nasal inflammation and tonsil problems can also lead to snoring in children.
The cause of snoring by children
Snoring is very common among adults, especially in some male adults. However, if the child snores, it will often affect the child's development, which is an abnormal situation and should be corrected according to the cause of the snoring. What are the reasons why children snore? This problem can be understood by the following.
1. The main cause of snoring in children is adenoidal hypertrophy.
Some children who do not snore may snore at a certain age, but after this age, the purring will become better, mainly caused by adenoidal hypertrophy. Adenoids gradually grow and then shrink as people grow, reaching their maximum at about six years of age. So a lot of five- or six-year-olds snore for a while. But as the adenoids shrink, the child's snoring status also improves.
Second, the cause of the child's snoring may also be related to the size of the child.
Some children eat better and absorb better, resulting in overweight. The fat baby's neck is also fleshy, which will make the child's breathing be compressed by fat muscle. When you sleep, you will have symptoms of snoring and difficulty breathing.
Third, snoring in children is also related to inflammation of the nasal cavity.
Many children suffer from rhinitis. If the nasal mucosa is congested and swollen during the onset of rhinitis, breathing is obstructed. At the same time, rhinitis can also cause nose suppuration and nasal congestion, causing children to appear snoring symptoms.
Fourth, snoring in children is also related to tonsil problems.
Some children have damaged their throat tonsils because of a cold or crying. Tonsils are enlarged and cannot breathe well, and children will snore when they sleep.
