How to treat a child who has difficulty breathing while sleeping and snores

Patient's question:

For nearly two weeks, the child has been experiencing difficulty breathing while sleeping, often breathing through the mouth, especially between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. If they try to breathe three times through the nose, the child may switch back to mouth breathing. Loud breathing sounds can be heard, and even earlier today at around 6 p.m., they were snoring.

Doctor's answer:

Friend. Have you caught a cold recently due to catching a cold? 1. Pay attention to measuring your temperature. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check to see the condition of your tonsils. If the tonsils are significantly swollen, they may interfere with breathing. Fortunately, snoring is not a problem. 2. Drink more water and eat less food that causes stomach upset. 3. If the room has air conditioning, maintain a certain humidity level at all times. 4. Wear a mask when going out and ventilate the room appropriately during the day. The above suggestions are for the question "recently, it has been almost two weeks." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
