Patient's question:
Approximately more than a month.Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of "snoring" in children is the enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids. The adenoids are a type of normal lymphoid tissue located at the back of the nasal cavity where it meets the pharynx. During the rapidly growing childhood years, the tonsils and adenoids grow quite quickly, reaching their peak size between the ages of 5 and 7. Due to various reasons, the tonsils and adenoids may become abnormally enlarged, hyperplastic, or congenitally enlarged. In addition to causing snoring and affecting sleep quality, they often lead to diseases of adjacent organs, such as recurrent secretory otitis media, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and so on.
