Patient's question:
The child started snoring a few months after birth and until recently, I noticed some difficulty breathing at night while napping, as if something was obstructing the airway. He was sleeping with his mouth open! But when he closed his mouth, it became unbearable!Doctor's answer:
The child starts snoring a few months after birth. In this case, first observe the child's breathing status carefully. First, rule out the possibility of upper respiratory tract infections. If there is suspicion of congenital laryngomalacia, it is recommended to return to the pediatric department for a follow-up. In fact, sometimes the child's snoring may be caused by factors such as respiratory obstruction. That is to say, there may currently be issues like tracheitis or bronchitis, and in this case, it is mainly a matter of stabilizing the respiratory tract.
