Patient's question:
Snoring while sleeping, as if the nose is blocked, and breathing through the mouth produces snoring sounds. This has been going on for about ten days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Did not go to the hospital. Tests and examination results: What kind of assistance is needed: I want to know what's going on? Is it serious? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children are different from adults; their various organs are not yet fully developed or mature at this stage. As they grow older and their organs mature, everything will gradually improve. Use soft, non-irritating gauze dipped in water to gently clean her nose; otherwise, be very gentle. Newborns have metabolism, which makes them prone to mouth and nasal congestion. Snoring in young children may also be caused by excessively large tonsils in the pharynx, partially obstructing the airway. Whether it's due to hypertrophy of the adenoids, overly large tonsils, or both, it's important to see a doctor in the otolaryngology department.
