Patient's question:
Napped in the afternoon and snored, had a runny nose when it was cold. At the age of 4, it was discovered that she snored during naps at night, had nasal congestion, runny nose, and accompanied by otitis media.History of treatment and effectiveness: At the age of 4, when it was discovered, a thorough examination at Wuhan People's Hospital revealed that she had hypertrophic adenoids and swollen tonsils. She underwent two removal surgeries. After the surgery, all symptoms disappeared, but within less than a year, she started snoring and having a runny nose again. Her ears and nose were fine. She still snorts now. She has been thoroughly examined by doctors in major hospitals and said that there are no complications post-surgery, just rhinitis. Then why does she still snore? I often spray physiological saline in her nose at night.
Please help me, doctors. Thank you.
What kind of help do you need: Tell me a treatment method, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Snoring can be triggered by adenoid hypertrophy, as well as by the enlargement and deviation of the nasal septum.Advice: I don’t know if your child has had a thorough examination for this condition. Additionally, you should check your child’s tongue. If the tongue is enlarged, it may droop during naps, which can also cause snoring. I suggest you focus on taking your child to see a doctor. In reality, snoring isn’t harmful. If it’s not severe, you might as well let it be.
Lifestyle care: Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
