Question
Is it normal for a child over the age of six to snore during the night or during naps?
Answer
For children over the age of six, snoring during the night or naps may require further medical evaluation. It is recommended that parents take their child to the otorhinolaryngology department of the hospital for a professional examination to determine if there is a case of tonsillar hypertrophy. If diagnosed, regional tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy may be required to improve the symptoms of snoring. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s daily diet and avoid consuming irritating food to maintain their child’s respiratory health.
