Why does the baby snore?
When a person is lying down, the space behind his throat and tongue will be narrower than when he is sitting or standing.
After falling asleep, the muscle tension will be further reduced, this space will be more narrow. At this time, it is easy to produce purring because the airflow is blocked. If snoring is slight, uniform and consistent, there is no apnea, and sleep quality is not affected, generally it does not constitute health hazards.
Attention should be paid to these situations
Some children snore because of structural or functional abnormalities in nasal cavity, oropharynx, larynx, etc.-such as nasal septum curvature, turbinate hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, etc.- And often cause sleep and breathing disorders in children, This requires parents to pay special attention. In addition, obesity, asthma and other systemic factors can also induce children’s sleep apnea disorders, one of the manifestations is snoring during sleep. Clinically, tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy is the main cause of children’s sleep apnea disorders, and serious cases can also be manifested as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
