Patient's question:
My son is only 12 years old this year, but for some reason, I've recently noticed that he's been snoring at night. I don't see how it's possible for him to be experiencing this at his age, but I've heard from others that snoring is a condition that can occur, though it's not very serious. However, I'm still very concerned about his situation.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, my child has started snoring at a young age. How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Children with snoring should have surgery as early as possible. Since pediatric snoring is divided into congenital and acquired types, the youngest children reappear in infancy. Many children are born with upper respiratory tract deformities, leading to poor airway patency and causing "roaring snoring" during sleep. Children with acquired snoring are mostly due to repeated colds or long-term rhinitis, resulting in swelling in the nasal pharyngeal area.The above is advice on the question "Does a child's loud snoring require treatment?" Hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
