Question
What is the best treatment for pediatric obesity and sleep-disordered breathing syndrome?
Answer
Obese children who experience relaxation of the throat muscles during deep sleep may suffer from narrowed airways, leading to snoring symptoms. It is generally recommended to implement dieting to alleviate snoring, as snoring often causes breathing pauses and can lead to the body being choked with water. This is a common symptom of poor ventilation. In general, it is advisable to adopt a low-fat diet and engage in regular physical exercise to reduce body weight.
