Question
What causes snoring in babies?
Answer
Snoring in babies may be caused by congenital or acquired diseases. For instance, conditions such as enlarged tonsils, narrow pharynx, underdeveloped chin, or obesity can lead to breathing difficulties and produce snoring sounds. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a medical examination to rule out nasal obstruction caused by tonsillitis and chronic rhinitis. Once the cause is determined, treatment can be administered for the symptoms. At the same time, attention should be paid to the baby’s sleeping posture as well as milk lump accumulation or breathing difficulties caused by a cold. It’s important to make sure your baby drinks plenty of water regularly.
