Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. I wonder if snoring at night will affect the child's development?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be sleep apnea syndrome, which refers to repeated episodes of breathing cessation more than 30 times during a 7-hour sleep period, or an increase in the respiratory disturbance index accompanied by clinical symptoms such as daytime sleepiness. It is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible, as it can induce sudden death. For your condition, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination, and antibiotics should be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Medications to relieve cough and phlegm should be applied in combination, along with nutritional support and adequate rest.
