Question
My child always makes a snoring sound when sleeping at night, but there is nothing during the day. What could be the reason, and are there any solutions?
Answer
Snoring may be caused by a narrow upper respiratory tract and relaxed soft tissue in the throat, which can lead to sleep apnea syndrome in severe cases. This is a condition known as snoring. It is recommended to sleep on your side to reduce snoring that occurs when lying on your back. Additionally, any foreign objects that could block the child’s airway should be avoided. If the situation persists or you are concerned, it is advisable to take your child to a pediatric hospital for a check-up.
