Question

My child is five years old, and recently they’ve been making a whistling sound in their throat when they sleep. It doesn’t sound like an adult’s snoring, and I’m not sure how to describe it. It’s clearly coming from their throat.

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be experiencing respiratory issues. Common causes include enlarged tonsils, laryngitis, and bronchitis. I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible to understand the exact situation and take appropriate treatment measures to avoid the impact of respiratory discomfort on their health. Early detection and treatment are very important. The above advice applies to the question “What’s causing my child’s noisy throat when they sleep?” I hope this helps you and your child stay healthy!
