Question
Why do children snore during sleep and also exhibit uncontrollable hand and foot movements? This symptom has been ongoing for over a month.
Answer
The most common cause of children’s snoring is the enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids. Adenoids are a normal lymphatic tissue located at the junction of the nasal cavity and the pharynx. During the growth period of children, the tonsils and adenoids may become abnormally enlarged due to inflammation, infection, or other reasons. This not only causes snoring but may also lead to other related diseases such as secretory otitis media, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma.
