How to treat a four-year-old boy's snoring

Patient's question:

Medical History (onset time, main symptoms, symptom changes, etc.): Doctor, hello; A four-year-old boy is snoring. Has been examined, can it be treated, etc.

Doctor's answer:

Snoring in children is very likely caused by incomplete glottic closure, which is often due to inaccurate pronunciation methods, excessive vocal strain, or excessive muscle fatigue. Organic causes mainly include secondary diseases such as vocal cord polyps, nodules, cricothyroid joint lesions, abnormal vocal cord development, or vocal cord scars. Additionally, trauma, surgical intubation, tumors around the larynx, and colds can also damage the laryngeal nerves, leading to vocal cord paralysis and incomplete glottic closure. If the vocal cords have congenital developmental abnormalities, such as vocal cord, autologous fat vocal cord injection can be performed. If long-term chronic inflammation medication is ineffective, long-acting steroid vocal cord injection can also be considered.
