Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What could be the reason for the baby always making noises while sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, young children also often make mild snoring sounds while sleeping. 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 develop 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 they become excessively enlarged, they can affect their physical and mental health. In most cases, surgical removal can be performed.
