Question
Is it normal for a child over six years old to snore during the night or nap?
Answer
For children over six years old, if they snore during the night or naps, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital’s otorhinolaryngology department for a professional examination. Specialist doctors will assess whether there is a case of tonsillar hypertrophy. If so, regional tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy may be necessary to improve symptoms. While seeking professional treatment, parents can also pay attention to their child’s diet in daily life, avoiding irritating food, to assist in treating the snoring issue.
