Snoring can be caused to the overweight population having more fatty tissue in the back of their throat and the neck which get in the way of airways making it difficult to breathe.Also enlarging of tonsils and adenoids,a long tongue or a smaller jaw contributes to snoring.Snorers generally have nasal congestion which is more likely to vibrate as the tongue obstructs the smooth breathing.
If you suspect your child has a snoring-related sleep issue you should consult your doctor.Children who snore are more likely to suffer from allergies than the general population and children with allergies are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea,this was according to American College of Chest Physicians.If your child stops breathing for a few seconds or gasps for breath, this may be a symptom of sleep apnea and a point to note is,not everyone who snores has sleep apnea.Remember,most kids snore sometimes but if your child snores loudly and regularly be sure to check with your doctor.
Child snoring associated with colds, allergies or respiratory infection is fairly common in all ages but loud and regular snoring is not normal for healthy children.Obesity In children is a major concern because it results in the narrowing of the passages and in the long run it may cause hyperactivity.Fat deposits around the throat can cause it to constrict, and fat in the stomach can prevent the diaphragm from functioning properly.Some 20 percent to 40 percent of obese children suffer from this problemChild snoring can lead to more serious complications like getting too little oxygen and too much carbon dioxide.In return this condition can lead to poor heart and lung development as well as behavioral problems.All is not lost though as this is reversible if the disease is caught early.
Most mothers will agree with me when we sometimes look at our sleeping babies snore and we say they look cute!This does not mean that the child is sound asleep,it could be translated to something more grave and might need the help of a pediatrician.
