What is the reason why a 4-year-old child snorts while sleeping?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

I suggest you see an ENT doctor. You might have tonsillar hypertrophy or uvular prolapse, nasal polyps, snoring. This is quite dangerous because it can sometimes cause sleep apnea, leading to hypoxia and arrhythmia. Additionally, sleeping on your side can help alleviate snoring to some extent. In some cases, surgical treatment may be necessary.
