What is the reason for a six-month-old baby making a snoring sound while nursing?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what's wrong with a six-month-old child making a snoring sound while nursing?

Doctor's answer:

Young children can normally produce soft snoring sounds. However, if loud snoring occurs continuously, it is abnormal and should be considered a symptom of a condition, the most common of which is adenoid hypertrophy. Adenoids grow rapidly during early childhood and gradually shrink during puberty. Therefore, adenoid hypertrophy is a condition specific to early childhood. Normal-sized adenoids have no impact on children, but if the adenoids are excessively enlarged, they can affect their physical and mental health. Adenoid hypertrophy can generally be surgically removed.
