One-year-old baby snoring

Patient's question:

Nasal discharge, occasional sneezing, not often itchy, occasionally rub itchy, breathing has a roaring sound, sleeping is the same, always feels like there is phlegm in the throat, has not been treated.

Doctor's answer:

Babies who snore while lying flat on their backs can be gently encouraged to sleep on their sides or in a side-lying position, which can help alleviate snoring. Sometimes, babies sleeping on their sides may adopt a head-down posture, which can also obstruct their airways. In such cases, gently adjusting the baby's head to a more upright position can be beneficial. It's important not to let the baby play too excessively before bed, and engaging in quiet activities before sleep can also help. Instead of letting the baby's head lean forward, it's better to keep it in an upright position rather than a head-down posture.
