What is Pediatric Snoring?
Pediatric snoring happens when a child breathes noisily while sleeping, often due to a partly blocked airway. It can be normal at times, but if it occurs frequently or is very loud, it might affect the child’s sleep quality and cause daytime tiredness or other problems.
Causes of Pediatric Snoring
Enlarged Tonsils and Adenoids: Often, snoring happens because the tonsils or adenoids are swollen, which can block the airway and cause noisy breathing.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): This is a serious condition where the airway gets blocked during sleep, causing irregular breathing and poor sleep quality. It can lead to behavior problems and developmental issues if not treated.
Allergies: Allergies can make the nose stuffy, leading children to breathe through their mouths and snore.
Obesity: Overweight children are more likely to snore due to extra tissue in the throat blocking the airway.
Nasal Obstruction: Problems like a deviated septum or sinus infections can block airflow and cause snoring.
Sleep Position: Sleeping on the back can cause the tongue and throat tissues to block the airway, leading to snoring.
Muscle Tone: Some children have weaker throat muscles, which can make them more likely to snore.
Symptoms For Snoring
Parents should look out for these signs along with snoring:
Restless sleep or waking up often.
Feeling sleepy or tired during the day, even after a full night’s sleep.
Breathing through the mouth during the day.
Behavioral issues, like being overly active or having trouble focusing, which could be due to poor sleep.
Pauses in breathing during sleep or gasping for air.
Frequent nightmares or bedwetting.
Slow growth or not gaining weight properly, might be linked to sleep problems.
