Patient's question:
Approximately two or three weeks ago, my son suddenly started snoring while sleeping, intermittently. He used to sleep quietly during naps, but changing his pillow or position didn't help. Hello, is there a problem with his respiratory system? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't seen a doctor yet. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Due to the child's long-term mouth breathing, it is difficult to heat and clear the air, making it easy to experience recurrent upper respiratory infections. Poor breathing can lead to insufficient lung expansion, interfering with the normal growth and development of the chest cavity. If the adenoid hypertrophy is large and tends to be bilateral, it can block the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube, causing hearing loss, dizziness, not only leading to bacterial infections but also resulting in acute otitis media, and even purulent otitis media, further endangering the child's hearing. The child's frequent mouth breathing disrupts deep sleep, and insufficient sleep increases the secretion of growth hormone, directly interfering with growth and development.
