Baby sleeping snoring

Introduction It is very common for adults to sleep and scream, but some children sleep and snoring, which requires parents to be vigilant. Generally speaking, many parents do not take the problem of child snoring. Some parents also think that it is a good thing for children to fight, and it is the performance of children sleeping well. In fact, snoring may be a disease that, if not taken seriously, can jeopardize the child's physical and cranial nerve development.

Cause

The cause of babies sleeping and snoring:

Tonsil enlargement: In infants and young children, the baby's pharynx accumulates a rich lymphoid tissue, also known as a proliferative body. If the hyperplasia is too large, it is a hypertrophy. The tonsils or proliferating glands are hypertrophied, causing narrow throats and snoring when they fall asleep, causing snoring, mouth breathing, and even apnea.

Nasal stenosis: The baby's pharyngeal cavity is short, the nasal passage is narrow, and the secretion or mucous membrane swelling is easy to block. The baby in the half-year-old often has a nasal sound, a stuffy nose or a voice in the throat, which is the reason.

Inflammation of the respiratory tract: inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis can cause congestion and edema of the nasal mucosa, abnormal hypertrophy of the tonsil proliferation, obstruction of the nasopharynx, and no nasal breathing during sleep, and a snoring sound with the breath.

Obesity: The soft meat structure of the pharyngeal baby is thicker. When sleeping, the oropharynx respiratory tract is easy to block, and there is a snoring sound. In severe cases, there may even be apnea.

Poor sleep posture: For example, if the baby is sleeping on his back, the root of the tongue is backwards due to gravity, and the respiratory passage is partially blocked. When the airflow enters and exits the nasal cavity, oropharynx and throat, the nearby mucous membrane or muscle vibrates.

Check and diagnose the baby sleeping and snoring:

The reason why children have a snoring sound during sleep is mainly the poor performance of respiratory airflow. Poor airflow makes oxygen not fully enter the body, resulting in reduced blood oxygen levels in the body. If this recurrence can also cause the child to sleep discontinuously, and wake up repeatedly from sleep, the child may have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This symptom has a great impact on your child's health. First of all, due to poor airflow, it can cause hypoxia in various parts of the child's body, especially the lack of oxygen in the brain. The brain cells of children of this age are in the process of continuous development and maturity, and good sleep is an important guarantee for energy metabolism of brain cells. If you are often deprived of oxygen and your sleep quality is not good, your child's memory, cognitive ability and intellectual development will be affected. Secondly, snoring will repeatedly interrupt the child's sleep, affecting the normal sleep structure, resulting in reduced deep sleep and increased light sleep. However, important hormones such as growth hormone are pulsed in the deep sleep of children. If deep sleep is reduced, hormone secretion will be reduced and the child's height will be affected. Because the child is in the growth and development of physique and cranial nerves, if the child has abnormal sleep and breathing, to some extent, the resulting harm is greater than that of adults.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of babies sleeping and snoring are easily confused:

Differential diagnosis of babies sleeping and snoring: sleep apnea: refers to the temporary suspension of breathing during sleep. The most common cause is obstruction of the upper airway, often ending with loud snoring, body twitching or arm twitching. Sleep apnea is associated with sleep defects, daytime snoring, fatigue, and bradycardia or arrhythmia and EEG wakefulness.
