Question
An 11-year-old child weighing 20 kilograms and standing 1.1 meters tall has been suffering from snoring and lack of appetite for a long time. At the age of 3, the child had surgery for a descending small intestine and has not received any other treatment since then. The parents hope to have a comprehensive examination for the child and seek a solution.
Answer
Snoring can trigger serious health issues, including delayed cognitive development, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory system diseases. It is recommended that the patient undergo a comprehensive physical examination, including a sleep test, to determine the cause of snoring and take appropriate treatment measures, such as oral orthodontic appliances, surgical treatment, or behavior modification.
